About this map

The Middle Fork Salmon River carves through the center of this Idaho backcountry landscape, marking the border between Valley and Lemhi counties. This 2017 survey details a remote wilderness area where aviation and river travel provide the primary access. Notable aviation landmarks include the Bernard USFS Airport and the private Flying B Ranch Landing Strip situated along the river's edge. Steep canyon walls rise to high elevations at Mid Fork Peak and along the Yellowjacket Mountains to the east.

Hydrological features dominate the terrain, from the turbulent Haystack Rapids to the significant tributaries of Camas Cr and Yellowjacket Cr. Structural crossings like Bernard Bridge and Camas Creek Bridge illustrate the sparse but vital infrastructure connecting these forest lands within the Salmon National Forest and Challis National Forest. The map also traces the prominent Macarte Ridge and the distinct geographic marker of Aparejo Point.
