1966 Map of Bird Creek

About this map

The Salmon River winds through the heart of the Salmon National Forest in this mid-1960s Idaho survey, carving a deep path through the mountains of Lemhi County. This specific stretch of the river is anchored by the historic path of the Lewis and Clark Trail, which follows the river's eastern bank before cutting across the high terrain. The landscape is defined by a series of steep drainages, including Bird Creek, Diamond Creek, and Wallace Creek, which flow eastward from high ridges like Napoleon Gulch to meet the main river channel.
