2013 Map of Devils Teeth Rapids

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through this remote portion of Idaho County, marking a sharp boundary between the Bitterroot National Forest to the north and the Payette National Forest to the south. The river's character is defined by its volatile whitewater, most notably at the Devils Teeth Rapids and Little Devils Teeth Rapids. The landscape is dominated by the Salmon River Mountains, where high-elevation landmarks such as Elkhorn Lookout and Patrol Point provided critical vantage points for forest management. Along the river banks, a series of bars—including Corey Bar, Elkhorn Bar, and Disappointment Bar—suggest a history of seasonal use and river-based transit. The terrain is further etched by numerous drainages like Chamberlain Cr and Fortune Cr, while peaks such as Cabin Mtn and Grass Mtn rise above the complex network of ridges.
