About this map

The Salmon River carves a central path through this Idaho County landscape, serving as the primary hydrological artery for a network of drainages. To the north, the terrain is defined by the basins of Bull Creek and Whisky Bob Creek, while Arlington Creek and its tributaries feed into the river system from the northeast. The lack of built infrastructure or named settlements emphasizes the purely topographical focus of this study, capturing the natural drainage patterns of the Salmon River canyon.

To the south, water flows through deeply incised valleys named for local landmarks and wildlife, including Cottontail Creek, Rabbit Creek, and Cougar Creek. Other named watercourses like Rugged Creek and Polly Creek provide specific points of reference for those navigating this unpopulated backcountry. The map provides a detailed record of the intersections where streams like Crooked Creek meet the main river, a vital resource for understanding the hydrology of this interior Idaho region.
