The Salmon River carves a deep path through the Nez Perce National Forest on this 2013 topographic survey, defining the geography of the Salmon River Canyon. The small settlement of Lucile sits on the river's eastern bank, flanked by numerous bars and gulches that speak to the area's geological and placer mining history, including Twilegar Bar, Butcher Bar, and John Day Bar. The river itself is marked by hazards such as Blackhawk Rapid and the dramatic constriction at Box Canyon.
