About this map

The Salmon River carves a path through this high-country landscape in Custer County, Idaho, where protected wilderness and national forest lands converge. The southern reaches of the map are defined by the White Clouds Wilderness, a region of intense topography where the river loops around Mormon Bend near the Big Casino area. This terrain is marked by a complex network of drainage systems, including Upper Harden Creek and Lower Harden Creek, which flow southward to meet the main river channel.

Higher elevations in the north, within the Challis National Forest, are accessible via a system of remote pathways such as the Deadwood Creek Trl and Sawmill Creek Trl. A central landmark of this subalpine environment is East Basin Lake, tucked away at the head of East Basin Creek. The map documents a landscape primarily managed for conservation and backcountry recreation, preserved in its modern state with minimal road development.
