1966 Map of Pierce

About this map

Pierce and its surrounding timberlands are documented here in the mid-1960s, showing the town's position at the edge of the Clearwater National Forest. The map captures a unique blend of historical and industrial landmarks, from the Chinese Hanging Trees Historical Marker near Hildebrand to the active timber operations at Cardiff Mill and Brown Creek Mill. The drainage of Orofino Creek dominates the northern terrain, while the residential expansion into Judge Town and the outlying community at Peterson Corners reflect the area's mid-century footprint. Resource management and recreation are evident through the Moore Pierce Work Center and the Brown Creek Moto Cross Area, set against a landscape defined by significant elevations like Gold Hill and the Pierce Divide.
