1995 Map of Big Cedar

About this map

Tahoe Ridge and The Horn define the high country of Idaho County in this mid-1990s U.S. Forest Service study, where the landscape transitions from the high timberlands down to the Middle Fork Clearwater River. The map captures the interface between the Clearwater National Forest and Nez Perce National Forest, divided by the East Auxiliary Meridian. Settlement is sparse, centered on the small community of Big Cedar and the nearby Tahoe Cemetery, which serves as a vital marker for local genealogical research. The drainage network is dense, with Big Cedar Creek, Little Cedar Creek, and Clear Creek carving through the terrain. Evidence of local industry and transport appears in the form of a Tramway near the river and a Gravel Pit south of Crane Hill, reflecting the practical land use of this remote forest region.
