2017 Map of Dixie

About this map

Dixie and the neighboring settlement of Midasville sit deep within the Nez Perce National Forest, a region defined by its history of mining and high-elevation terrain. This 2017 survey details the complex drainage system of Crooked Creek and its many tributaries, such as Horse Flat Creek and Long Tom Creek. The landscape is a network of named peaks and depressions, from Burpee Mountain and Churchill Mountain to the evocatively named Hundred Dollar Gulch and Nugget Gulch. These labels suggest a legacy of prospecting and resource extraction that has long characterized this part of Idaho County. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks like Dixie Summit and Blue Ridge, while flatter alpine openings are identified as North Star Meadows and Little Mallard Meadows. Forest development roads provide the primary access through this steep, wooded terrain.
