2020 Map of Bear Creek Point

About this map

The Middle Fork Salmon Wild and Scenic River flows through the southeastern corner of this Valley County landscape, marking a protected corridor at the intersection of the Salmon National Forest and Boise National Forest. The topography is dominated by a complex network of drainages and high points, most notably Bear Creek Point, which serves as a central landmark for the surrounding ridges. Dozens of waterways, including Brush Creek, Sheep Cr, and Paradise Cr, carve through the terrain, creating deep features such as Countess Gulch and Tappan Gulch. The map reveals the lack of modern development in this wilderness area, emphasizing natural landmarks like Cow Basin and the winding course of the Middle Fork Salmon River as it passes through the remote canyon environment near the Lemhi County border.
