About this map

McKinzie Creek flows through this portion of Idaho County, joining a complex drainage system defined by the North Fork Skookumchuck Creek and South Fork Skookumchuck Creek. The terrain is marked by prominent ridgelines such as Sly Ridge, Gabe Ridge, and Bouffard Ridge, which dictate the paths of numerous smaller tributaries like Slippy Creek and Hurley Creek.

Tracing the secondary road networks, such as Dairy Mountain Rd and Slate Creek Rd, reveals the specific land use of the early 21st century. High-altitude features like Patrol Point and Free Use Point offer insight into forest management and resource access, while the Wild Horse Corrals and names like Bear Gulch and Shells Lick speak to the region's enduring livestock and wildlife heritage. The map documents a landscape where primitive routes and natural watersheds remain the primary features of the land.
