1966 Map of Anderson Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this topographic survey, revealing a landscape of steep timbered ridges and a intricate network of drainages. The topography is anchored by Anderson Butte in the south, featuring the Anderson Butte Lookout Tower, a critical vantage point for forest management. The map details a complex system of pack trails, such as Pack Trail 579, which follow the high ground along Horse Ridge and Sheep Drive Ridge. These trails provide the primary access through the drainage basins of Meadow Creek and the East Fork American River. A solitary Grave located near Sheep Drive Ridge offers a poignant trace of the area's human history, likely connected to early forest service activity or high-country sheep herding. The drainage patterns of Horse Creek and Fivemile Creek illustrate the formidable terrain that defined backcountry life in the mid-1960s.
