About this map

Sheepeater Hot Springs sits at the southern edge of this Idaho wilderness, where the Middle Fork Salmon River carves a deep path between the Boise National Forest and Challis National Forest. The landscape is defined by high-altitude features like Artillery Dome and Pistol Creek Ridge, illustrating the complex drainage systems of the Rapid River and Pistol Cr.

Navigational challenges for river travelers are clearly marked at Pistol Creek Rapids and Powerhouse Rapids, while the survey also documents remote high-country water bodies such as Artillery Lake. The map details the convergence of numerous seasonally-named drainages, including Beansnapper Cr, Mortar Cr, and Forty-five Cr, which feed into the major river systems along the Valley and Custer County line.
