About this map

Middle Fork Salmon River carves a deep path through this wilderness landscape where Valley, Custer, and Lemhi counties meet. The confluence of Loon Creek and the Salmon River serves as a focal point for backcountry travel, evidenced by the presence of the Lower Loon Creek Airport and the Lower Loon Creek Bridge. This 2017 survey reflects a terrain defined by its complex hydrography, from high-elevation waters like Falconberry Lake to geothermal features including Hospital Hot Spring and Cox Hot Springs.

The landscape is managed across three distinct administrative boundaries: Salmon National Forest, Boise National Forest, and Challis National Forest. Notable landmarks such as Hospital Bar and Loon Creek Point provide reference points for those navigating the numerous drainages, including Tappen Gulch, Grouse Cr, and Cache Cr. The inclusion of several remote crossings, like White Creek Bridge and Bennett Creek Bridge, highlights the critical infrastructure required to traverse this river-carved Idaho backcountry.
