2024 Map of Fivemile Bar

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through this reach of the Salmon Wild and Scenic River, where a series of sandbars and river terraces have historically defined the human footprint. These bars, including Fivemile Bar, Gaines Bar, and Boise Bar, served as vital landings and settlement sites within the steep canyon walls. The geography here is further shaped by the intersection of major protected lands, including the Nez-Perce National Forest, the Payette National Forest, and the massive Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. Access to this remote river corridor is marked by the presence of the Wilson Bar USFS Airport and the Painter Mine Rd, suggesting a history of mining and forestry activity. Significant elevation changes are anchored by landmarks like Mammoth Mtn and Painter Point, while smaller water bodies like Little Sheepeater Lake hide in the high-elevation basins above the main river channel.
