About this map

The East Fork Salmon River carves a deep path through Custer County, Idaho, serving as the central drainage for a series of high-elevation tributaries. This 2017 survey shows the river flanked by the Challis National Forest to the north and the Sawtooth National Forest to the south. Notable landmarks include the Sawtooth Fish Hatchery along the river banks and Narrow Canyon, where the water transitions through steep vertical drops.

Water management and natural drainage dictate the landscape, from the glacial-fed waters of Big Boulder Cr to the southern reaches of Bowery Cr. The map details the complex topography of Red Ridge and the many named creeks, such as Germania Cr and Mountain Meadow Cr, that feed into the Salmon River system. This documentation provides a clear look at the wilder areas of the Idaho interior where federal forest boundaries meet critical riparian habitats.
