2024 Map of Clayton

About this map

The Salmon River carves through the southern reaches of this mountain landscape, providing a vital corridor for the settlement of Clayton and the smaller Sullivan area. This modern survey illustrates the rugged geography of the Challis National Forest, where steep drainages like Kinnikinic Creek and Sawmill Creek feed into the river system. For those researching local families, the map identifies both the Clayton Cem and Sullivan Cem, markers of the small communities that have endured in this high-altitude terrain. Geologic and recreational points of interest are well-documented, including the Sullivan Hot Springs and the prominent Saturday Mtn. A network of backcountry routes such as the Peach-Cinnabar Trl and French Creek Trl trace the historical movement across the basins and ridges, including the appropriately named Happy Hollow.
