About this map

The Salmon River cuts a deep canyon through this portion of Idaho County, serving as the primary corridor for transportation and small settlements in the early 21st century. Along its banks, the small locales of Turner and Green sit near the Wind River Pack Bridge, while a Cable Car Crossing provides a more rudimentary transit point across the water. The landscape is defined by high ridges and steep gulches, including Antler Ridge and Lovell Gulch, which bear the marks of the area's mining history.

Evidence of resource extraction is found north of the river at the Bullion Mine and Big Three Mine, tucked away near Bullion Creek. For those interested in the human footprint on the land, the map identifies isolated landmarks like McMeekin Ranch and the Hackett Cabin. The topography culminates at the high point of Carey Dome, where the Carey Dome Scenic View offers a vantage point over the complex drainage systems of Carey Creek and Fall Creek.
