1981 Map of Jaype

About this map

Jaype and the surrounding Clearwater timberlands of the early 1980s are defined by a complex intersection of industry and recreation. The landscape is marked by the presence of the Cardiff Spur railroad and industrial infrastructure like a large Substation and several Gravel Pit sites, supporting the logging operations of the Idaho interior. Small settlements and named locales such as Townsite Four, Hollywood, Revling, and Nelson are scattered along the drainages of Reeds Creek and Camas Prairie Creek. The high ground is monitored by the Shanghai Lookout Tower, overlooking a terrain carved by Little Trapper Creek and Snake Creek. For those exploring the backcountry, developed sites like the EC Rettig Campground Picnic Area and Deer Creek Campground near a remote Landing Strip indicate the dual-use nature of this forest at the time, where industrial rail lines and forestry trails met public campgrounds and family picnic spots.
