1964 Map of Kessler Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this mid-1960s topographic survey, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic ridgelines and the headwaters of numerous mountain creeks. The high-altitude terrain is marked by significant features like Crater Lake and Papoose Lake, while the subsurface is represented by Papoose Cavern along Papoose Ridge. The map identifies a solitary Prospect near Grave Creek, hinting at early mineral exploration in this secluded part of Idaho County. Resource management and early access are evident through the network of a trail and jeep trail systems that navigate through The Narrows and across high passes such as Fire Camp Saddle and Papoose Saddle. Named springs, including Tony Seyfreid Spring and Hite Spring, provide critical water points across the complex drainage basins of Race Creek and Lightning Creek.
