About this map

Peck sits at the base of the dramatic transition from the high Camas Prairie down to the Clearwater River canyon, serving as a hub where the Peck (Siding) railroad infrastructure meets the waterway at Harpers Bend. The landscape is defined by deep incisions like Big Canyon Creek and Sixmile Canyon, which separate prominent landforms such as Angel Ridge and Central Ridge.

Genealogists can find significant local history preserved in several burial sites across the different elevations, including Angel Ridge Cem on the heights and Peck Cem near the settlement. Further south, the map documents the community around Melrose, featuring the Melrose Cem and the Good Hope Ch, alongside the Old Good Hope Cem. This late 1960s survey illustrates a rugged Idaho landscape where isolated homesteads and small agricultural clusters like Nichols are connected by winding mountain roads.
