2020 Map of Puddin Mountain

About this map

The Middle Fork Salmon Wild and Scenic River defines the western edge of this wilderness landscape, serving as a primary corridor through the Salmon National Forest and Payette National Forest. This protected waterway is punctuated by features like Jack Creek Rapids and is crossed by essential backcountry infrastructure, including the Waterfall Creek Bridge, Bighorn Bridge, and Big Creek Bridge. The high-elevation terrain is marked by numerous basins containing West Puddin Lake, Plateau Lake, and South Fork Lake. Localized drainage patterns are visible through named tributaries such as Waterfall Cr, Woolard Cr, and Rattlesnake Cr, which descend from ridges like Wilson Mtn. This map provides a detailed look at the drainage networks and river access points in a region preserved for its natural state.
