About this map

Middle Fork Salmon River carves a deep path through this 2013 survey of the Idaho backcountry, marking the boundary between Challis National Forest and Boise National Forest. The landscape is defined by high peaks like Little Soldier Mtn and Scarface Mtn, separated by a complex network of drainage basins including Thomas Cr, Rapid River, and Little Soldier Cr.

Human activity is concentrated along the river corridor, where the Middle Fork Lodge and Thomas Creek Airport provide essential access points for this isolated region. The presence of the Sheep Creek Bridge and high-altitude features like Sunflower Flat indicate a landscape shaped by forest management and seasonal recreation. For researchers of Idaho's wilderness history, this map documents the established infrastructure of the Frank Church area, from the Marble Creek Campground to the various named creeks that have long served as landmarks for packers and guides.
