1963 Map of Hungry Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The South Fork Clearwater River carves a deep path through the heart of the Nez Perce National Forest, serving as the primary corridor for movement and early infrastructure in this part of Idaho. At this time, the riverside is dotted with administrative and recreational outposts, including the South Fork Clearwater Station and Castle Creek Work Center. The presence of the Fisher Mine and Asbestos Mine Point suggests the era's ongoing interest in the mineral potential of the surrounding ridges. Higher elevations reveal a landscape managed for both utility and survival, from the Lookout Tower on Quartz Ridge to remote dwellings like the Barton Spring Cabin and Moore Ranch. The network of drainage systems, such as Johns Creek and American River, dictates the rugged layout of the terrain and the placement of early Jeep Trails.
