2011 Map of Butts Creek Point

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through this Idaho interior, joined by the Middle Fork Salmon River in a landscape defined by significant drainage systems. Prominent bars such as Corn Creek Bar, Cunningham Bar, and Cache Bar line the river banks, reflecting the alluvial geography and historical significance of these riverside flats for transit and temporary settlement. The Salmon River Rd follows the water's edge, providing access to the Cache Bar Campground. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Butts Creek Point, while numerous tributaries including Kitchen Creek, Placer Creek, and Stoddard Creek create a complex network of canyons. The map serves as a detailed record of the wilderness hydrology and limited forest road infrastructure at the start of the 21st century.
