1962 Map of Center Star Mtn

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest provides the setting for this 1962 field-checked study, which highlights a landscape heavily defined by its mining history. The South Fork Clearwater River and Crooked River serve as the primary corridors for industrial activity, evidenced by the extensive Dredge Tailings visible along their banks. These geographic markings, along with a Gaging Station on the South Fork, underscore the relationship between the waterway and the local extraction economy during this era.
