About this map

The confluence of the N Fork Salmon River and the Salmon River serves as the focal point for this section of Lemhi County, where the small settlement of North Fork is situated. This region is defined by the steep drainage systems of the Salmon National Forest, characterized by numerous named gulches and canyons including Carl Gulch, Rathburn Gulch, and Magpie Canyon.

Transport and recreation in the early 21st century are concentrated along the river corridors, with facilities like the Wagonhammer Campground and routes such as the Fourth of July Creek Rd. High-elevation landmarks like Stein Mtn overlook a landscape carved by intricate water systems, from Wagonhammer Cr to the Little Fourth of July Cr. The map details the complex topography of the Salmon River Mountains, illustrating the relationship between the river-valley settlements and the surrounding wilderness areas.
