1962 Map of Pilot Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this topographic survey, revealing a landscape shaped by historical mining and high-altitude travel. The presence of the Pell Placer Mine and Revelation Mine, alongside extensive Dredge Tailings near Newsome Creek, highlights the area's extraction history. Transportation across these steep ridges relied on routes like the Elk City Stage Road and the Pilot Knob Trail, which connected remote outposts. Evidence of earlier habitation is found at Mountain House and the Newsome settlement, which includes a small cemetery and the Newsome Work Center. Local nomenclature reflects both human activity and topography, from Pell Cabin and Lytle Camp to prominent heights like Baldy Mtn and Pilot Knob, where a Lookout stands sentinel over the West Fork Newsome Creek drainage.
