1997 Map of Elk Creek

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail and the Clark and Lewis National Historic Trail both traverse this portion of the Beaverhead National Forest, marking a landscape defined by significant western migratory and Indigenous history. The map detail highlights the intricate drainage systems of the Upper Big Hole Valley area, where Elk Creek and its many tributaries, such as South Fork Elk Creek and Sunshine Creek, carve through the terrain. Evidence of recreational use in the late 20th century is centered around the May Creek Campground, situated near the confluence of Joseph Creek and May Creek. This survey provides a precise look at the forest's topographic character, showing the network of pack trails and primitive routes that follow watercourses like Prairie Creek and Steel Creek as they descend from the high ridges.
