About this map

The Salmon River cuts through the center of this landscape, creating a deep corridor flanked by high ridges and alluvial bars. Landmarks such as American Bar and Cooper Bar line the riverbanks, while the Rice Creek Bridge provides a critical crossing point for the road network. To the south, the expansive Joseph Plains dominate the terrain, connected to the river valley by winding routes like Joseph Plains Rd and Rice Creek Rd.

Named geological and topographical features reflect the area's agricultural and ranching history, including Bingman Ridge, Moughmer Ridge, and Hogback Ridge. Drainage patterns are defined by numerous creeks, such as Rice Creek and Wickiup Cr, which have carved steep canyons like Maple Canyon and Andrew Canyon into the surrounding plateau. The map also identifies local points of interest such as Voskuhler and Moughmer Point, illustrating the dispersed settlement pattern of this part of Idaho County.
