1994 Map of Park

About this map

Park and Crescent serve as the primary markers of settlement in this timber-rich portion of Idaho as it appeared in the mid-1990s. The landscape is dominated by the Palouse Ranger District and sections of the St Joe National Forest, showing a region defined by commercial forestry and conservation management. High ridges such as Tamarack Ridge and Cedar Ridge divide numerous drainage systems, including Three Bear Creek and Long Meadow Creek. Local resource extraction is evidenced by the Gravel Pit near the Landing Strip, while the naming of Norwegian Ridge and Longfellow Gulch hints at the ethnic and cultural history of the homesteaders and loggers who once worked these slopes. The map also delineates administrative lines, such as the Latah County and Clearwater County boundary, reflecting the jurisdictional complexities of managing these forest lands.
