2020 Map of Pilot Knob

About this map

Newsome serves as a primary geographic anchor in this section of the Nez Perce Little Baldy National Forest, where high-elevation ridges and mountain streams dominate the landscape. The topographic data reveals a network of historic transit routes, most notably the Old Elk City Wagon Rd, which winds through the eastern portion of the map. High peaks such as Pilot Knob and Pilot Rock stand as significant landmarks alongside Baldy Mtn, overlooking a dense system of drainages including Newsome Cr and W Fork Newsome Cr. Small, family-named or local-interest features like Sing Lee Cr, Haysfork Cr, and Hamby Saddle suggest a history of early exploration and prospecting in these remote Idaho hills. Modern forest management is reflected in the detailed layout of roads like Lookout Butte Rd and Pilot Knob Rd, which provide access across the ridge systems of Radcliff Ridge.
