About this map

The Little Salmon River carves a deep path through this mid-1990s landscape, serving as a primary corridor for travel and settlement between the Nez Perce National Forest and Payette National Forest. Small communities and named points such as Pollock, Pinehurst, and Gotzinger are clustered near the riverbanks, reflecting a dependence on the water for both geography and utility. To the east and west, the terrain rises sharply into named ridges like White Bird Ridge and Windy Ridge.

Evidence of resource extraction is visible in the hills above the valley, marked by a Mine and a Prospect near Ranyhan Gulch. The map records the interface between public forest lands and private holdings, with the Idaho County and Adams County line crossing the river south of Slaughter Gulch. From high points like Indian Mountain to the flats at Dempsey Flat, the survey documents a landscape of steep elevation changes and secluded drainages.
