About this map

Indian Mtn and the surrounding high country of the Payette National Forest define this 2013 landscape, where the Little Salmon River carves a deep path through the canyonlands of Idaho and Adams Counties. This survey captures a remote interior of the American West, dominated by a complex network of drainages including Hazard Cr, Boulder Cr, and Hard Cr. The map documents a territory organized by forestry and recreation, centered on the river corridor and the high-elevation flats of Hard Creek Meadows.

Evidence of early access and seasonal use appears in the naming of small settlements and landmarks like Bear Wallow and Tepee Springs. The terrain transitions from the steep descent into Bascom Canyon to the massive uplift of the Grass Mountains. Transportation is limited to rugged forestry routes like Smokey Boulder Rd and Boulder Creek Rd, which provide access to the river's edge at the Fall Creek Access Area.
