1982 Map of Headquarters

About this map

Dworshak Reservoir dominates the western reaches of this North Idaho landscape, where the North Fork Clearwater River and its tributaries carve through the heavy timber of the Clearwater National Forest and St Joe National Forest. The map documents a rugged timber and mining economy in the early 1980s, centered around the company town of Headquarters and the historic settlement of Pierce. Industrial activity is evident in the cluster of remote outposts such as Hollywood, Jaype, and Townsite Four, alongside numerous specialized camps like Camp 14 and Camp 60. Mineral extraction is recorded at the Oxford Mine, Democrat Mine, and Crawford Mine. Transportation for these resources is facilitated by the Cardiff Spur railroad line and a network of logging roads and 4wd trails that navigate prominent heights including Bertha Hill and Cook Mountain.
