1969 Map of Grangemont

About this map

Grangemont serves as the primary focal point of this North Central Idaho landscape, documented just as the region’s topography was being reshaped by major water management projects. To the north, the North Fork Clearwater River gives way to the newly formed Dworshak Reservoir, a massive impoundment at an elevation of 1600 feet. The terrain is defined by prominent high points such as Angel Butte and Huckleberry Butte, with a dense network of drainages including Whiskey Creek, Crooked Creek, and Canyon Creek cutting through the timbered uplands. Genealogists and local historians will find the Marsh Cem near the center of the sheet, providing a vital point of reference for families tied to this remote part of Clearwater County. The map also traces a Jeep Trail and several secondary roads that provided access to the high ridges and creek bottoms during the late 1960s.
