1969 Map of Grangemont

About this map

Grangemont serves as the primary upland settlement on this map, situated amidst a landscape of timbered ridges and deep drainages. The northern reaches of the area are defined by the rising waters of the Dworshak Reservoir, which follows the winding course of the North Fork Clearwater River. This survey captures the region as it transitioned with the creation of the reservoir, showing the new shoreline at the 1600-foot elevation mark against the older terrain of Angel Butte and Huckleberry Butte. For genealogists and local historians, the Marsh Cem near Marsh Creek provides a tangible link to the early families who settled the Grangemont area. A network of Jeep Trails and primitive roads crisscrosses the hills, connecting water sources like Whiskey Creek and Crooked Creek to the higher elevations, illustrating the remote and rugged nature of land use in this part of Clearwater County.
