2017 Map of Winchester West

About this map

Winchester and the surrounding plateau on the Nez Perce and Lewis County line define this part of northern Idaho. The landscape is characterized by deeply incised drainage systems, including Mission Cr and Webb Cr, which cut through the high prairie. The northern edge of the map features Lapwai Lake, while the southern portion is anchored by Soldiers Meadow Reservoir, a significant water resource for the area. A complex network of backcountry roads, such as Hoover Point Rd and Mc Cormick Ridge Rd, provides access to the dispersed homesteads and timberlands between the primary settlements. The small community of Forest serves as a secondary focal point in the southern reaches, connected by Morrowtown Rd to the surrounding agricultural and forest lands.
