About this map

The Middle Fork Salmon Wild and Scenic River carves through this remote landscape where the Boise National Forest and Challis National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by high ridgelines like Sheep Mtn Ridge and prominent peaks including Little Soldier Mtn and Scarface Mtn. This 2020 survey documents the intersection of several wilderness drainages, with Thomas Creek and the Rapid River feeding the larger river system.

Infrastructure is limited to essential backcountry access points, such as the Thomas Creek Airport and the Sheep Creek Bridge. Historical fire monitoring is evidenced by the Little Soldier Lookout, situated to survey the surrounding peaks. The map also records localized features like Sunflower Flat and the small alpine Norton Lake, offering a detailed view of the drainage patterns for Sheep Creek and Bell Cr as they appeared in the early 21st century.
