2011 Map of Pungo Mountain

About this map

The Middle Fork Salmon River flows through the southern reaches of this Idaho wilderness, defining a landscape of high summits and intricate drainage basins. The Indian Creek-U.S. Forest Service Airport serves as a critical access point for this backcountry area, situated near the confluence of Indian Creek and the main river. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations including Pungo Mountain and Grays Peak, which overlook a network of watercourses such as Pungo Creek and Marble Creek. Local history and land use are evident in the naming of Aquinaldo Flat and the presence of the Pungo Creek Campground. This area is shaped by a complex system of tributaries, with East Fork Indian Creek and Mowitch Creek carving into the mountainous territory, reflecting the long-standing importance of these waterways for navigation and resource management in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness area.
