Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail Map - Waterproof

The U.S. Forest Service map for this forest: roads, trails, campgrounds and recreation sites for backcountry trips where there is no signal.

Designated by Congress in 1986, the entire Nez Perce National Historic Trail stretches 1,170 miles from the Wallowa Valley of eastern Oregon to the plains of north-central Montana. The Nez Perce Flight of 1877 symbolizes the dramatic collision of cultures which continues to shape the West and its people. A native people were forced to flee their homelands in a futile attempt to avoid war and save their traditional ways. Immigrated European people found themselves fighting neighbors who had been their friends for many years. Traditional trails which had long been a source of joy and sustenance became a trail of flight and conflict, a trail of sorrow. One side of the map provides visitors with an overview of the entire Trail, including information on modern day travel routes and sites to visit along the Trail. The reverse side of the map gives a glimpse back in time and shows how the region looked in 1877. This side, done in shaded relief, not only shows the route followed
