1995 Map of Kelly Mountain

About this map

The gold-bearing basin of Florence sits atop a high plateau in the southern reaches of the Nez Perce National Forest, where 1990s mining activity and historical claim boundaries illustrate a long legacy of resource extraction. The landscape is defined by the deep carving of the Salmon River, which marks the boundary between the Nez Perce and the Payette National Forest. Along the riverbanks, the map identifies The Crevice and the Manning Bridge, vital crossing points in a terrain of steep canyons and high saddles like Coffee Can Saddle.
