About this map

Nezperce National Forest defines this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where historic transportation routes intersect with a complex network of drainages in the early 1960s. The presence of the Old Elk City Stage Road and the Elk City Stage Road tracing the ridgelines highlights the historical importance of this corridor for regional travel and freight. These routes follow the natural topography between significant landmarks such as China Point and Corral Hill, the latter of which features a prominent Lookout Tower used for fire surveillance.

The drainage patterns of Clear Creek, Peasley Creek, and Silver Creek create a deeply dissected terrain characterized by named ridges like Yew Ridge and Silver Ridge. While the map is devoid of permanent settlements, it provides detailed documentation of the trail systems and jeep tracks that provided access to the backcountry. Locations such as Tenmile Flat and Big Burn Point serve as distinct reference points for those studying the land management and historical access of this remote forest interior.
