About this map

Salmon River drainage systems define this high-elevation landscape in Custer County during the early 21st century. The terrain is structured by prominent peaks including Iron Mountain to the west and King Mountain centrally, which separate the complex network of mountain tributaries. These waterways, including Hat Creek and its companion Little Hat Creek, carve deep drainages through the central portion of the area.

Evidence of historical land use and natural geography appears in family-named or descriptive landmarks like Beaver Gulch and South Gulch. The northeastern corner is particularly rugged, marked by the confluence of Cabin Creek, Ringle Creek, and Ezra Creek. Along the eastern edge, the topography descends toward the North Fork McKim Creek where it meets the main river corridor, providing a clear picture of the hydrological patterns of this interior Idaho range.
