2011 Map of Corral Hill

About this map

The Old Elk City Wagon Rd traverses this section of Idaho County, marking a historic corridor through a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. At this time in the early 21st century, the map illustrates the persistence of early transit routes alongside modern forestry access like the Natl Forest Develop Road 1107 Rd and China Point Rd. The terrain is dominated by the tributaries of the Clearwater River system, including South Fork Clear Creek and the West Branch South Fork Clear Creek. To the south, the waters of Peasley Creek and its companion, West Fork Peasley Creek, carve through the heights, while smaller named flows such as Doe Creek and Yew Creek indicate the fine-grained hydrography of the region. This survey captures a moment where the legacy of pioneer freighting roads meets contemporary federal land management.
