About this map

Center Star Mountain stands as the central landmark in this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the South Fork Clearwater River carves a deep path through the terrain. The map reveals an intensive history of resource extraction, particularly concentrated in the southern and eastern quadrants. Numerous mining operations, including the Elk City Mining Company and the Idaho Champion Group Prospects, are distributed throughout the drainage basins of the Crooked River and South Fork Clearwater River.

Transport through this territory is marked by the Old Elk City Wagon Rd and Old Golden Rd, suggesting the historical routes established during earlier mining booms. Recreation and backcountry access are evident at the Bear Creek Campground and multiple sites along the river, such as Crooked River Number Three Campground. The abundance of family-named peaks and creeks, like Proux Mountain and Allison Creek, provides clear geographic markers for those studying the regional history and land use patterns of Idaho County.
