1995 Map of Hida Point

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through this 1990s Idaho landscape, serving as a corridor of historical activity within the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. The map highlights the intersection of the Nez Perce National Forest and Payette National Forest, where the river's course is punctuated by landmarks such as Split Rock Rapids and Big Eddy. Human presence is anchored by riverside properties like Allison Ranch and Crofoot Ranch, as well as the specialized Hay Airstrip tucked into the canyon terrain. High-elevation points like Hida Point and Hida Ridge overlook numerous named watercourses, including Bargamin Creek and Hida Creek. The inclusion of various river bars, such as Bailey Bar and Rattlesnake Bar, points to the area's geological and likely alluvial mining history along the Salmon Wild and Scenic River.
