1966 Map of Cayuse Junction

About this map

Clearwater National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the Clearwater and Idaho County line bisects a high-elevation wilderness. The map details the intersection of early back-country routes at Cayuse Junction, positioned just above the headwaters of Cayuse Creek and the small alpine Cayuse Lake. This area was primarily defined by its network of trails and ridges rather than permanent settlements, with topography dominated by the Williams Range and significant elevation drops toward the Lochsa River in the south.
