1966 Map of Cedar Ridge

About this map

Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness terrain dominates this Idaho survey, which captures a high-elevation landscape defined by significant ridges and glacial basins. The map illustrates a point of convergence between the Clearwater National Forest and Nez Perce National Forest, where infrastructure is limited to the Pack Trail network and specialized outposts. A central Work Center and the Hoodoo Lake Campground at Elk Summit represent the primary human interface with this protected wilderness area. The drainage pattern is complex, with Cedar Creek and Moose Creek carving deep valleys between prominent landforms like Friday Ridge, Cedar Ridge, and the Goat Heaven Peaks. High-altitude water bodies, including Kidney Lake and Porphyry Lakes, dot the landscape, suggesting the primitive and undeveloped nature of the region during the mid-1960s mapping period.
