About this map

Nez Perce National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, where high ridgelines and deep drainages define the remote character of the Salmon River country. The 1995 survey details a region managed for both resource use and conservation, evidenced by Wild Horse Corrals and the Slate Creek Work Center (Site) in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The topography is a complex system of ridges, including Banner Ridge, Gabe Ridge, and Delmage Ridge, which separate various branches of the river system.

Water features are prominent throughout the terrain, from the Slippy Creek Falls to the seasonal flows at Dairy Spring. The map documents established forest infrastructure such as the Mountain Road and lookouts like Patrol Point. Names like Shells Lick and Bouffard Flat suggest the local history of ranching and hunting that has long coexisted with federal land management in this part of Idaho County.
