1966 Map of Weippe South

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Weippe Prairie dominates the northern landscape of this survey, where the town of Weippe sits at the edge of fertile agricultural flats and timbered slopes. The map traces the rugged divide between Clearwater and Idaho counties, following the descent into the steep canyon of Lolo Creek. Within the Nez Perce Indian Reservation, the terrain transitions from the open meadows near Larson to the prominent heights of Paunch Mtn. A network of logging access routes like Adams Grade and numerous jeep trails suggests the region's reliance on forestry. Genealogists will find the Weippe Cemetery and family-named landmarks such as Tom Taha Creek and Jim Ford Creek particularly useful for locating mid-century homesteads. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the sharp vertical relief of the Clearwater Mountains, punctuated by landmarks like Caribel and the secluded Cottonwood Flats Creek.
