2017 Map of Ellis

About this map

The confluence of the Pahsimeroi River and the Salmon River serves as the focal point of this Custer County landscape, where the settlement of Ellis sits at the junction of river valleys and canyon walls. The terrain transitions from the broad Pahsimeroi Valley in the south to the steep, dramatic narrows of Cronks Canyon in the north. This 2017 survey illustrates the delicate balance of a high-desert riparian corridor, where water sources like Magpie Spring and Anderson Spring are critical to the surrounding topography.
