1963 Map of White Bird

About this map

The Salmon River cuts a deep canyon through this part of Idaho, flanked by the elevated Dou Me C Plains and Log Ridge. In the early 1960s, the landscape was defined by its dramatic elevation changes and a network of primitive access routes, including a Jeep Trail winding across Hogback Ridge. The confluence of White Bird Creek and the river marks a location of significant historical weight, preserved here at the Battle Ground and the Nezperce Indian War Historical Monument.
