About this map

Elk City Wagon Road and the Selway Elk City Road trace the historic movement of people and supplies through the central drainage of the American River in this 1990s survey. Located within the Nez Perce National Forest, the landscape is defined by significant topographical features such as Elk Ridge and Horse Ridge.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is visible in the Tailings noted along Lick Creek, marking where early mining efforts left their mark on the terrain. The area's high-elevation meadows, including Buck Meadows and Marten Meadows, are linked by the Horse Creek Trail, providing a clear look at the backcountry transportation network that once supported logging, prospecting, and forest management. These routes converge near landmarks like Lick Point, offering a detailed record of the intersections between wilderness and utility.
