About this map

Woodland and the nearby settlement of Harrisburg sit atop the high ground overlooking the deep drainage of the Clearwater River. This 2011 survey captures the rural character of Idaho County, where local life follows a network of winding ridge-top roads and steep canyon descents. The landscape is defined by its watercourses, from the broad curve of the river at Tramway to the complex branching of Lolo Creek and its tributaries like Schmidt Creek.

Evidence of local industry and transport infrastructure is scattered throughout the hills, most notably at the Schmidt Mill in the northern portion of the quadrangle. Researchers can trace the connection between small community hubs like Pardee Corner and the rugged topography of Six Mile Canyon. The placement of Pardee along the riverbanks, contrasted with the upland homesteads, illustrates the traditional movement between the canyon floor and the fertile benches above.
