1978 Map of Hida Point

About this map

The Salmon River snakes through this wilderness corridor, serving as the central artery for a landscape defined by steep canyon breaks and remote backcountry outposts. Along the river banks, isolated pockets of human activity appear at Allison Ranch and Crofoot Ranch, while a Landing Strip near the river indicates the necessity of aerial access for these interior Idaho reaches. The map documents the meeting of major protected zones, including the Salmon River Breaks Primitive Area within the Nez Perce National Forest and the Idaho Primitive Area in the Payette National Forest. Notable river navigation points such as Split Rock Rapids and Fivemile Rapids are recorded alongside family-named landmarks like Bargamin Creek and high points including Hida Point and Crown Point.
