1995 Map of North Pole

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest provides the setting for this detailed survey of the high backcountry, centered on the aptly named North Pole summit. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation drainage systems of Twentymile Creek and Tenmile Creek, where the timberline gives way to ridges like Bear Grass Ridge and Williams Creek Ridge. Historical remnants of early 20th-century resource extraction are visible near the southern boundary, where the North Star Mine, Wiseboy Mine, and various prospects are documented alongside scattered Ruins.
