1994 Map of Elk Creek Falls

About this map

Dworshak Reservoir dominates the western landscape of this Clearwater County quadrangle, where the steep canyon topography meets the high-water line. This survey, revised in the mid-1990s, documents a transition between active forestry management and protected natural features. The Elk Creek Falls Recreation Area sits prominently in the north, protecting the descent of Elk Creek Falls amidst the St. Joe National Forest. Settlement patterns are sparse, characterized by isolated outposts such as Five Corners and Old Camp Y, while logging history is evidenced by topographic features like Rock Cut and the winding forest service roads. The map provides a clear record of the area's hydrology, tracing feeders like Cloverleaf Creek and Bull Run Creek as they navigate the ridges of Tick Ridge and Aldermand Ridge toward the reservoir basin.
