2020 Map of Corral Hill

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this section of Idaho County, where the land is defined by high ridges and the deep drainages of the S Fork Clear Cr watershed. A significant piece of regional history is preserved here in the form of the Old Elk City Wagon Rd, which winds across the northern terrain near Corral Hill. This historic transportation corridor once served as a primary link for miners and settlers traveling to the Elk City gold fields, following the high ground to avoid the steep canyon floors. Further south, the landscape rises to prominent landmarks like China Point and Silver Dome. The map details an extensive network of Forest Service routes, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 1857 Rd, which provide access to Tenmile Flat and the headwaters of numerous creeks including Meadow Cr and Alder Cr.
