1963 Map of Sawyer Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the peaks of Sawyer Ridge and Pyramid Peak overlook a series of alpine waters. The map detail reflects the mid-century wilderness character of Idaho County, documented through 1962 aerial photography and 1963 field checks. Human presence is sparse, limited to the Sawyer Ridge Lookout and seasonal locations like Bentz Cow Camp. A complex drainage network defines the area, with Gospel Creek and its western fork feeding into the Lower Gospel Lake and Upper Gospel Lake systems. This survey captures a moment before modern accessibility, showing only a solitary Jeep Trail cutting across the south-western slopes near Slate Creek, providing a rare record of the original trail routes and high-country landmarks like Gospel Hill and Dome Hill.
