2013 Map of Kelly Mountain

About this map

Salmon River canyons dominate this central Idaho landscape, where the boundary between the Nez Perce National Forest and Payette National Forest follows the winding river's course. Early twenty-first-century topography reveals a sparsely populated backcountry centered around French Creek and the Howard Ranch. Notable for its difficult terrain, the area is marked by distinctive landmarks like The Crevice and Manning Bridge, which serves as a rare crossing point near Chamberlain Gulch. The northern portion of the map covers the historic Florence Basin, a region synonymous with Idaho's nineteenth-century gold rush history. From the heights of Kelly Mtn and Looking Glass Butte to the lower reaches of Flock Canyon, the map provides an intricate look at the drainage systems of Little Slate Cr and Kelly Cr that define this high-elevation wilderness.
