1994 Map of Sixmile Creek

About this map

Nez Perce Indian Reservation territory defines the majority of this landscape, where the high plateaus are carved by deep drainages flowing toward the Clearwater River. Along the northeastern edge, the river serves as a prominent natural and political boundary between Lewis Co and Idaho Co, carrying water from numerous interior tributaries. The topographical layout is characterized by significant elevation changes, with Sixmile Creek and Fivemile Creek cutting through the terrain. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by scattered extractions such as the Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit, while the lower reaches of Effie Creek demonstrate the complex network of seasonal and perennial streams that define this part of the Idaho backcountry.
