About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep, winding path through the heart of the Salmon National Forest in this 2017 survey of the Idaho backcountry. This map documents a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and remote river geography, specifically where the main river meets the Middle Fork Salmon River. Geologists and outdoor historians can trace the river's movement past established riverside flats like Corn Creek Bar and Cunningham Bar, which serve as significant landmarks for those navigating the water.

Upland features such as Butts Creek Point and Twin Peak tower over a complex network of drainages including Kitchen Cr and Proctor Cr. The confluence at Hancock Rapids highlights the challenging river conditions that have long dictated movement through this region. The boundary between Idaho and Lemhi Counties follows the ridgelines and the river, marking a high-altitude border in the wilderness near Stoddard.
