2004 Map of Meadow Of Doubt

About this map

The Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and Payette National Forest converge in this remote Idaho mountain landscape. The map centers on the high-elevation meadows and ridges that define the Salmon River backcountry, including the curiously named Meadow of Doubt and the expansive Chamberlain Basin. Historical human presence is marked by isolated outposts such as Stonebraker Ranch and Beal Cabin, reflecting the era of wilderness management and private inholdings within the national forest. The infrastructure is sparse, dominated by the Chamberlain Basin Airfield and a series of pack trails leading to high points like Trail Point and Rocky Point. Numerous drainage systems like Chamberlain Creek and Harlan Creek dissect the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrology of this roadless region during the early 21st-century USDA Forest Service revision.
