1964 Map of Riggins Hot Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through the Nezperce National Forest in this mid-1960s survey of Idaho’s interior. Centered on the geothermal waters of Riggins Hot Springs, the landscape is defined by its extreme vertical relief, stretching from the river banks at Music Bar up to high points like Berg Mountain and Van Ridge. Settlement is sparse, represented by isolated landmarks such as Hinkley Cabin and Long Cabin, which suggest the area's history of remote habitation and subsistence. A Lookout Tower on Chair Point and various prospects indicate a landscape managed for both resource extraction and fire protection. The intricate network of drainage systems, including Allison Creek and Partridge Creek, feeds into the Salmon, creating a complex series of ridges and canyons, most notably the steep walls of Box Canyon and the turbulent waters at Ruby Rapids.
