1963 Map of McKinzie Creek

About this map

Nezperce National Forest terrain dominates this 1963 survey of Idaho County, revealing a complex network of ridges and watercourses defined by seasonal ranching and forestry infrastructure. The landscape is marked by land-use labels such as Free Use Ridge and Free Use Point, alongside working-land features like the Wild Horse Corrals and the Spring Dairy. A network of unpaved paths, including the Dairy Mountain Road and the Hurley Trail, provides the primary access through high-elevation points like Patrol Point and Shells Lick. Water management and natural drainage are central to the map's detail, from the Gaging Station on the North Fork Skookumchuck Creek to the descent of Slippy Creek Falls as it feeds into the larger McKinzie Creek and Slate Creek systems.
