1982 Map of Deadwood River

About this map

The Salmon River Mountains and the Sawtooth Range dominate this 1982 survey of central Idaho, a landscape defined by the drainage basins of the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork Payette Rivers. In the southwest corner, the small communities of Garden Valley, Crouch, and Lowman serve as the primary human outposts before the terrain rises into the protected wilderness areas. The map details the central role of water management and aviation in this backcountry, centering on the Deadwood Reservoir and remote infrastructure like the Bruce Meadows and Warm Springs Landing Strip for access into the interior.
