2024 Map of Ellis

About this map

The Salmon River and Pahsimeroi River converge near the small settlement of Ellis, forming a vital waterway junction in the high country of Custer and Lemhi Counties. This 2024 survey details the topographic interface between the Lost River Range and the Pahsimeroi Mountains, where the broad Pahsimeroi Valley meets the narrowing canyons of the Salmon. The landscape is defined by deep drainages such as Cronks Canyon, Ennis Gulch, and Deer Gulch, which feed into the primary river systems. Road networks like Pahsimeroi Rd and Custer Rd follow these natural corridors, connecting ranching lands and remote landmarks like Eagle Rock. The map illustrates the contemporary configuration of this river-and-range environment, highlighting how the terrain dictates the placement of transit routes and small-scale habitation in this part of central Idaho.
