About this map

The Salmon River cuts a deep course through the heart of Idaho County, defining the drainage patterns and transportation routes of this high country. Significant elevation changes are marked by prominent landforms such as Moughmer Ridge, Bingman Ridge, and the Joseph Plains. The river itself is punctuated by named bars including American Bar and Cooper Bar, which historically served as key sites for early river access and prospecting.

Surface infrastructure is dominated by a network of ranch roads and remote canyon routes, including Rice Creek Rd and Moughmer Point Rd. A singular engineering landmark, the Rice Creek Bridge, provides a critical crossing over the lower reaches of Rice Cr near its confluence with the main river. These roads connect high-elevation plateaus like Box Flat and Price Ridge with the steep river breaks of Maple Canyon and Rocky Canyon.
