The Mapping And locations Of The Wagon Roads and Early Trails From Lawyers Canyon North To Pierce, West To Lewiston And East To The Musselshell Ranger Station. For : The Idaho County Historic Preservation Commission & The Idaho State Historical Society Assessment Prepared by: James G. Huntley 130 Grangeville Truck Route Grangeville, Idaho 83530 November 2017 – February 2018 2. INTRODUCTION From 1867 to 1934, the General Land Office contracted with private land surveyors to survey and subdivide the Townships in Idaho, Nez Perce, Lewis and Clearwater Counties. The contracts required the setting of section corners and the recording of features on the ground, such as roads, trails, cabins, fences and fields. Some 150 years later, it is the features requirement that allows the researcher to establish these locations on the ground and on maps. This writer began reviewing the old survey notes and plotting the location of trails and wagon roads on modern maps in 2012, because of their historic significance in the development of North Central Idaho. To date, three assessments representing some 415 miles of historic roads and trails have been completed, and two can be found on the Idaho County Web Page. The following assessment deals with the Lewiston to Kamiah, River City, Oro Fino, Pierce City Wagon Road/Trail, the “Old” Indian Trail from Lapwai to Kamiah, the Indian Trail from Kamiah to the North Fork Of The Clearwater River and the Return Trail of Lewis & Clark in May & June of 1806.
