1964 Map of Pollock

About this map

The Little Salmon River carves a deep path through the canyonlands of western Idaho, serving as a vital corridor between the Nez Perce National Forest and the Payette National Forest. This mid-century landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, with White Bird Ridge and Sheep Mountain towering over the narrow river valley where the small settlements of Pollock and Pinehurst are situated. The map illustrates a transitional zone where the forest boundaries meet the Idaho County and Adams County line. While the higher elevations like Dempsey Flat and Devils Ladder are reached only by primitive tracks, the river bottom shows signs of activity including a Gravel Pit and a Prospect site, reflecting the region's reliance on the land's raw resources.
