1969 Map of Elk Creek Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Dworshak Reservoir dominates the lower landscape of this 1969 survey, illustrating the significant hydrological transformation of the Elk Creek drainage. The map records the area just as the reservoir began to fill, following the construction of the Dworshak Dam. Higher elevations are marked by a network of drainage systems and prominent landforms like Tick Ridge and Aldermand Ridge. A series of natural cataracts, including Elk Creek Falls and Bull Run Creek Falls, remain central landmarks in this timber-rich portion of Clearwater County. Evidence of recreation and small-scale settlement appears at the Elk Creek Picnic Area (Camp Y) and Twin Springs, while Five Corners serves as a key junction for the local Jeep Trail network. The inclusion of a Gravel Pit reflects the infrastructure needs of the era, supporting the roads that navigate this complex drainage basin before the landscape was fully altered by rising waters.
