About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep valley through this Idaho landscape, which was primarily defined by the Salmon National Forest and its drainage systems in the early 1960s. High country dominates the eastern portion of the sheet, where Long Ridge overlooks a complex network of waterways including Poison Creek, Allison Creek, and Mud Creek. Human activity is concentrated along the river corridor and lower elevations, evidenced by scattered Prospects and a Gravel Pit that suggest local mineral exploration and material extraction.

Industrial and pioneer history is subtly marked on the terrain. A solitary Grave is noted near the river, south of the Ringle Creek confluence, providing a rare genealogical marker in this sparsely populated region. Four-wheel drive trails provide the only access into the high timber and drainages like Dry Gulch and Ezra Creek, illustrating the remote character of this national forest land before further modern development.
