2024 Map of Arctic Point

About this map

The Salmon Wild and Scenic River flows across the northern edge of this Idaho backcountry, marking the boundary of a landscape defined by its protected status. Located within the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness and the Payette National Forest, the area is characterized by an extensive network of drainage systems and high-elevation ridgelines. The transition from high points like Arctic Point and Mule Creek Point down to Chamberlain Basin and Queen Creek Meadow reveals a terrain shaped by water and time, where named features such as Hot Springs Meadow and Quaking Aspen Spring indicate localized ecological niches.
