About this map

Weippe Prairie dominates the northern landscape of this region, where the settlement of Weippe serves as a central point for the surrounding homesteads and timberlands. The terrain drops sharply southward toward the winding course of Lolo Creek, which forms the boundary between Clearwater and Idaho counties. Local transit is defined by a network of rural roads like Adams Grade and Woodland-Caribel Rd, which connect the upland flats to the smaller settlement of Caribel in the south.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Weippe Cem north of Jim Ford Cr, while the presence of The Last Resort Airport indicates the continued importance of remote access in this high-country environment. From the elevations of Paunch Mtn to the open stretches of Cottonwood Flats and State Meadows, the map document traces the intersection of rugged Clearwater drainage systems and the agricultural plateaus of the Nez Perce country.
