About this map

The Middle Fork Salmon River carves through this remote Idaho landscape, serving as the central artery for a region defined by its isolation and river-accessed homesteads. The Mormon Ranch sits along the riverbanks, illustrating the persistence of remote ranching outposts in Valley County. Transportation into this backcountry relies heavily on small-scale aviation and specialized forest roads, evidenced by the Bernard-US Forest Service Airport and the Flying B Ranch Landing Strip.

Elevations rise sharply toward Middle Fork Peak, where the Middle Fork Peak Campground provides a base for those navigating the numerous drainages like Aparejo Creek and Camas Creek. Notable crossings like the Bernard Bridge and Camas Creek Bridge link the few established routes, such as Nat For Dev Rd 112, through a terrain marked by natural features like Aparejo Point and the geothermal activity at Warm Spring.
