About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep, winding canyon through the southern portion of this landscape, marking the border between Lewis and Idaho Counties. This terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts, where the high plateau near Hoover Point drops sharply toward the river valley below. To the north, the landscape transitions into the more level reaches of Larabee Meadows, a contrast to the complex drainage networks of Mission Creek and the multiple forks of Maloney Creek.

Infrastructure in this sparsely populated region is primarily defined by high-elevation access roads like Marek Rd and Hoover Point Rd. The presence of the Deer Creek Airport in the south provides a critical connection point for this remote Idaho backcountry. Local hydrography is intricately detailed, showing the sequential tributaries of First Creek, Second Creek, and Third Creek feeding into the Deer Creek system as it descends toward the Salmon.
