1998 Map of Devils Teeth Rapids

About this map

The Salmon River cuts a deep corridor through central Idaho, defining the boundary between several major conservation areas during the late 1990s. This survey focuses on the remote intersection of the Bitterroot National Forest, Payette National Forest, and the massive Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness. The river's powerful character is marked by technical water features including Salmon Falls, Little Devils Teeth Rapids, and the namesake Devils Teeth Rapids. Along the banks, small riverside flats known as bars, such as Corey Bar and Elkhorn Bar, provide the only level ground for established sites like Corey Bar Campground. Inland, the terrain rises sharply to prominent peaks like Elkhorn Mountain and Cabin Mountain, while the Chamberlain Basin and Chamberlain Creek dominate the southwestern portion of the quadrangle.
