About this map

Middle Fork Salmon River carves a deep path through the heart of this central Idaho wilderness, serving as the primary geographical axis for a region defined by high peaks and river navigation. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map reveals the complex intersection of the Salmon National Forest and Payette National Forest, where high-altitude landmarks like Aggipah Mtn and the granite spires of the Bighorn Crags overlook the river valley.

A network of primitive trails provides the only terrestrial access to remote points of interest, including the high-perched Stoddard Creek Lookout and the alpine waters of Ship Island Lake. The river itself is marked by a series of named whitewater features, such as Redside Rapids, Ouzel Rapids, and Porcupine Rapids, which illustrate the treacherous and isolated nature of the drainage before modern recreational development.
