About this map

The confluence of the Salmon River and the North Fork of the Salmon River anchors this 1966 topographic survey of Lemhi County. The small settlement of North Fork serves as a gateway to the Salmon National Forest, characterized by steep drainage systems like Wagonhammer Gulch and Stein Gulch. Cultural history is prominently noted along the river corridor, where the historic Lewis and Clark Trail winds past a designated Historical Monument and the North Fork Ranger Sta.

High-altitude landmarks such as Stein Mtn Lookout 8555 look down upon a landscape shaped by wilderness access and early exploration. Remote infrastructure is visible in the form of a Landing Strip near the river and various pack trails and jeep trails navigating the canyons. For those tracing land use, a Prospect near Wagonhammer Spring and a riverside Campground indicate the intersection of resource extraction and mid-century recreation.
