About this map

Smoky Mountains terrain dominates this modern survey of the Sawtooth National Forest high country, where the headwaters of the Salmon River and the West Fork Big Smoky Creek begin their descent. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including Vienna Creek, Smiley Creek, and Frenchman Creek, which flow through steep-walled canyons like Sawmill Canyon and Mill Gulch.

Access to this high-elevation wilderness is primarily via unpaved routes such as Smiley Creek Rd and Frenchman Creek Rd, which transition into a network of backcountry trails like the Emma Creek Tr and Narrow Creek Tr. The southern boundary of the map tracks the county line between Blaine Co and Camas Co, illustrating how high ridgelines often serve as the basis for administrative divisions in this part of Idaho.
