About this map

Elk City serves as the central hub of this mountain survey, positioned at the confluence of Elk Cr and the American River. This early 21st-century record documents a landscape deeply tied to its mineral and timber history within the Nez Perce National Forest, where features like Shearer Mill and Mother Lode Hill suggest the area's long-standing industrial roots. The town's layout is clearly defined by Main St and School Dr, supported by the Elk City Airport to the east.

The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and ridges, including the Red River and Ericson Ridge. Remote outposts and family-named landmarks such as Beartrap Ranch, Gold Point, and the Elk City Lard Comm are connected by a web of Forest Service roads like Road 1199 and Smith Rd. The map illustrates the isolated character of these settlements, from Grangeville on the western edge to the high elevations of Wheeler Mtn and Red Horse Ridge.
