According to Idaho Place Names: A Geographical Dictionary, Hollywood was five miles north of Pierce and shot up rapidly where Potlatch Forests, Inc., had Camp 12. It was a railroad workers 'shacktown' of tents and small camps. That is why it was facetiously named 'Hollywood'.

According to the http://idaho.hometownlocator.com/id/clearwater/hollywood.cfm, it is at elevation 3,310 feet.

There is a photo of Camp 12 in the University of Idaho digital collection at: http://digital.lib.uidaho.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/plcphotos/id/418/rec/30.
