About this map

Galena Peak dominates the southwestern corner of this Idaho landscape, where the high-altitude drainage systems of the Salmon River headwaters converge. This 2011 survey illustrates a complex network of alpine waterways, specifically the East Fork Salmon River and its various tributaries including the West Fork East Fork Salmon River and South Fork East Fork Salmon River. The terrain is defined by the steep descent of creeks like Germania Creek and Alta Creek, which carve through the high country.

The absence of road networks and settlements on this map underscores the primitive nature of this environment within Blaine County. Water bodies such as Ibex Creek and MacRae Creek feed into the larger river systems, showing the topographical flow that defines this part of the Sawtooth National Forest region. This document serves as a precise record of the hydrological patterns and mountain peaks as they appeared at the start of the 21st century.
