About this map

The Nez Perce Indian Reservation Boundary bisects this Idaho landscape, where the plateau terrain is deeply incised by the drainage systems of Cottonwood Creek and Red Rock Creek. In the southern portion of the map, the small community of Denver serves as a primary point of interest for genealogists, located near the Denver Cem and the headwaters of Shebang Creek.

Topographical landmarks like Twin Buttes and Red Rock Butte rise above the agricultural land, which is crisscrossed by a network of unimproved dirt roads and section lines. The map reveals the early industrial footprint of the area through several labeled Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit locations, while the presence of Yellow Bull Spring and South Fork Long Haul Creek highlights the vital water resources that supported ranching and settlement in this part of Idaho County during the late 1960s.
