About this map

The settlement of Ellis sits at the vital junction where the Pahsimeroi River joins the northward-flowing Salmon River. This 2010 survey details a landscape defined by the Pahsimeroi Valley, where the river winds through a complex network of channels and the Pahsimeroi Rearing Ponds. The terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks into high-relief features like Cronks Canyon and Eagle Rock, with numerous seasonal drainages such as Dry Gulch and Ennis Gulch cutting through the slopes.

Logistics and water management are central to this high-desert environment, evidenced by the Ellis Access Area and the Deer Gulch Access Area. Local routes like the Pahsimeroi Valley Rd and Hat Creek Rd provide the primary connections through this corridor. Smaller water sources like Magpie Spring and Anderson Spring underscore the importance of reliable water in the arid reaches beyond the main river valleys.
