2011 Map of Bald Mountain

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through this Idaho landscape, where the confluence with the East Fork Salmon River marks a primary point of geographic and administrative activity. In this high-elevation terrain, industrial history is recorded at the Silver Bell Mine near Povert Flat and the Turtle Mine situated north of Centennial Flat. These sites reflect the region's mining heritage, while the presence of the East Fork Bureau of Land Management indicates the modern-day stewardship of these vast public lands. The network of forest roads, such as Centennial Flat Rd and NF 372 Rd, provides access across a series of drainages including Lyon Creek, Rattlesnake Creek, and Sink Creek. From the heights of Bald Mountain to the riparian corridor of the main river, the map details a territory defined by sharp elevation changes and the sparse infrastructure typical of the Idaho backcountry.
