1962 Map of Butts Creek Point

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through this portion of the Salmon National Forest, defining the boundary between Idaho and Lemhi counties in the early 1960s. This survey records the river's wild character, marking numerous rapids and named river bars such as Cunningham Bar and Cache Bar. High above the water, Nolan Lookout and Butts Creek Point serve as prominent topographical anchors for the surrounding drainage basins. Evidence of human activity is sparse but specific, including an abandoned airstrip and a jeep trail that navigates the high ridges. The map captures the meeting of major waterways at the Middle Fork Salmon River junction, where Hancock Rapids churns near the mouth of Roaring Creek. This landscape is primarily defined by its network of steep drainages, including Butts Creek and Stoddard Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of the central Idaho wilderness.
