1962 Map of Nez Perce Peak

About this map

Nez Perce Peak and the high ridges of the Bitterroot National Forest define this remote borderland during the early 1960s. The survey captures the topographic complexity of the Idaho and Montana state line, where the Continental Divide separates Ravalli and Idaho counties. Movement through this high-altitude terrain is marked by historic routes, most notably the Old Nez Perce Trail and the Old South Nez Perce Trail, which follow the natural contours of the mountain passes.
