2013 Map of Corral Hill

About this map

Old Elk City Wagon Rd traces a historical path through this high-elevation section of the Nez Perce National Forest, marking a landscape defined by significant ridges and creek drainages. The area is anchored by prominent high points including Corral Hill, China Point, and Big Burn Point, which offer clear views across the watersheds of S Fork Clear Cr and Peasley Cr. The network of forest roads, such as Sears Creek Rd and Alder Creek Rd, follows the difficult topography, providing access to remote locations like Tenmile Flat and Yew Ridge. This region, heavily timbered and carved by numerous watercourses like Meadow Cr and Storm Cr, reflects the historical importance of wagon routes and forestry in Idaho's backcountry. Genealogists and historians can use these records to trace the exact movement of early travelers and the geographic isolation that shaped local development.
