About this map

Winchester and the surrounding high-plateau country of the Nez Perce Indian Reservation Boundary are meticulously documented in this late-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the deep drainage of Big Canyon Creek and Lapwai Creek, with Mason Butte standing as a prominent central landmark. The settlement at Morrow in the southeast corner provides a valuable reference for genealogists, featuring the Morrow Cem and a nearby prospect.

Evidence of historical transportation and infrastructure is visible throughout, notably the Old Railroad Grade winding through the northern canyons and the Pine Grove School situated near the southern county line. Recreational development is centered around Winchester State Park and Lapwai Lake, while more remote locations like Talmaks Campground and Mud Springs Reservoir highlight the area's rural character. The map also clearly delineates the boundary between Lewis and Idaho Counties, tracing the path of Willow Creek.
