About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through this portion of the Clearwater Mountains, creating a landscape of steep breaks and river-level bars. Along the water, named flats like Bailey Bar, Bargamin Bar, and Rattlesnake Bar signify the limited habitable ground available in this vertical terrain. Human presence is concentrated at isolated outposts such as Allison Ranch and Crofoot Ranch, which are situated near the mouths of mountain tributaries like Sapp Creek and Cro Creek.

Elevations rise sharply away from the river to distinctive landmarks including Hida Point and Crown Point. The drainage patterns are intricate, with significant water bodies like Bargamin Creek and Hida Creek feeding into the main river channel. High-altitude clearings like White Bird Meadow offer a contrast to the forested ridges of Hida Ridge, illustrating the varied topography of this Idaho backcountry.
