2011 Map of Ramey Hill

About this map

The Middle Fork Salmon River carves a deep path through this backcountry landscape, serving as the central artery for a series of remote outposts and recreational sites. Settlement patterns here are defined by isolated holdings such as Tappen Ranch and Simplot Ranch, which are supported by the Simplot Airstrip. This area is notable for its geothermal features, including Hospital Hot Spring and Cox Hot Springs, which have long drawn visitors to the river's edge. High-elevation vantage points like Ramey Hill and the Loon Creek Lookout provide oversight of a vast network of drainages, from Cub Creek in the north to Falconberry Lake at the southern margin. The presence of numerous designated sites like Hospital Bar Campground and Island Campground indicates the enduring importance of the river corridor for seasonal access and wilderness transit.
