2024 Map of Ramey Hill

About this map

The Middle Fork Salmon River carves through the center of this remote Idaho landscape, serving as a corridor for backcountry aviation and travel within the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. This 2024 survey details the intersection of the Boise National Forest, Challis National Forest, and Salmon National Forest, where the river's flow dictates the geography of named bars and riparian landmarks. Accessibility is defined by isolated features like the Lower Loon Creek Airport and the Middle Fork Trl, which provide the only managed points of entry into these protected lands. Geologic activity is noted at Hospital Hot Springs and other Hot Springs along the riverbanks, while the surrounding drainage basin is fed by numerous named tributaries including Loon Creek and Norton Creek. This mapping shows the persistent character of one of the nation's most preserved wilderness regions.
