2017 Map of Clayton

About this map

The settlement of Clayton serves as the focal point of this Custer County survey, situated at the confluence where Kinnikinic Cr meets the Salmon River. This high-altitude landscape is dominated by the Challis National Forest, characterized by a complex drainage network including Squaw Creek, Sullivan Cr, and Cinnabar Cr. The terrain rises sharply toward landmarks like Saturday Mtn, while more sheltered areas like Happy Hollow and Spring Basin provide contrast to the steep canyons. A notable local feature is Sullivan Hot Springs, located south of the main river corridor. The map reflects the enduring geography of Idaho's mining and ranching country, tracing the paths of old gulches such as Cartwright Gulch and the numerous creeks that have shaped the region's development and access.
