About this map

Glenwood sits in the northern reaches of this Idaho interior, where early resource extraction and forest management defined the landscape during the mid-1960s. The terrain is dominated by the steep slopes of Harris Ridge and high points such as Woodrat Mtn and Maggie Butte, the latter of which features a Lookout Tower for fire observation. To the south, the Middle Fork Clearwater River carves a deep valley, serving as a primary corridor for transportation and industry.

Evidence of early 20th-century economic activity is scattered throughout the drainages of Crocker Creek and Maggie Creek, where several Mines and a Prospect are noted. The map also records a Tramway near the river and a system of Jeep Trails providing access into the Clearwater National Forest and Nezperce National Forest. These details offer a clear view of a region transitioning from isolated mining and logging toward modern forest administration.
