About this map

The Little Salmon River carves a deep corridor through this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the primary artery for travel and settlement in a region dominated by the Nez Perce National Forest and Payette National Forest. Small communities like Pollock and Pinehurst occupy narrow benches along the river, where the Idaho and Adams County line crosses the water.

The surrounding terrain is defined by steep ridges and deep gulches, including Ranyhan Gulch and Slaughter Gulch. Numerous tributaries such as Rapid River, White Bird Creek, and Hat Creek feed the main river from the high country. Resource extraction and backcountry access are evident through features like the Gravel Pit near the river and various jeep trails and the Elk Trail that navigate the high points of Sheep Mountain and Indian Hill.
