1962 Map of Pilot Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Nez Perce National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where gold mining and forestry shaped the rugged drainages of the Clearwater region. Near the confluence of Newsome Creek and Sing Lee Creek, the Newsome (Site) and its associated Cem reflect the area's early settlement history. Industrial activity is evident through the Pell Placer Mine and extensive Dredge Tailings along the creek beds, while high points like Pilot Knob and Baldy Mtn provided critical vantage points for the Lookout station. Evidence of seasonal habitation and resource management appears at Lytle Camp and the Newsome Work Center, alongside older locations like the Mountain House (Site). The network of drainages, including China Creek, Hayfork Creek, and West Fork Newsome Creek, highlights a terrain defined by narrow valleys and steep ridges such as Radcliff Ridge.
