1966 Map of Syringa

About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this mid-1960s terrain, where the Middle Fork Clearwater River carves a deep valley floor. Along the river’s north bank, the small settlement of Syringa sits near the mouth of Syringa Creek, serving as a waypoint in a landscape defined by sharp ridges and significant water features. Moving inland, the map details a network of drainage basins including Pete King Creek, Walde Creek, and Big Smith Creek, which flow toward the river through land managed for both conservation and resource extraction.
