1966 Map of Lick Point

About this map

Dredge Tailings along the American River reveal the legacy of mineral extraction in this corner of the Nez Perce National Forest. Published in 1987 based on 1960s field data, the map illustrates a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and a dense drainage network. High points like Lick Point and Anderson Butte overlook steep valleys carved by waterways such as Wart Creek, Horse Creek, and Big Elk Creek.
