1963 Map of John Day Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Nezperce National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, where the steep canyons and ridges define a territory shaped by water and high-altitude observation. The peak of John Day Mountain and the high point at Southwest Butte anchor the southern portion of the sheet, while a Lookout Tower sits perched at Slate Point to the northeast, overseeing the dense drainage basins. The map illustrates a complex network of seasonal access, dominated by a series of labels for Jeep Trails and primitive trails that navigate the slopes of Brushy Ridge and Allison Ridge. This network reveals how the Forest Service and early recreationists accessed remote pockets like Nut Basin Lake and the various forks of John Day Creek and Allison Creek before more modern infrastructure reached this high-country terrain.
