2020 Map of Clayton

About this map

The settlement of Clayton serves as the focal point of this survey, situated at the confluence of Kinnikinic Creek and the Salmon River. This high-altitude landscape is dominated by the steep, drainage-carved terrain of the Challis National Forest, where numerous seasonal creeks like Sawmill Creek and Coal Creek feed into the larger river system. Human activity is largely concentrated along the river corridor and major access routes such as Squaw Creek Rd, with the Sullivan mine and Hot Springs near the river indicating the area's geological and industrial character.
