1967 Map of Nezperce SE

About this map

Nez Perce Indian Reservation Boundary cuts across the southern portion of this landscape, marking a significant jurisdictional and cultural line in Idaho County. The terrain is defined by the deep drainage of Cottonwood Creek, which dominates the central and northern sections of the sheet. Settlers and local families established landmarks on the higher ground, notably at Mt Zion where the Mt Zion Cem is located, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this rural area. Smaller waterways like Red Rock Creek and Threemile Creek feed the larger drainage system, while several Gravel Pits and a Borrow Pit indicate localized earth-moving activity. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the steeper sections of the creek breaks, illustrating the remote and specialized transportation patterns of the late 1960s.
