1964 Map of Riggins Hot Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Salmon River carves through the heart of the Nez Perce National Forest, creating a dramatic landscape of steep ridges and deep canyons. Along the river's path, Riggins Hot Springs stands as a focal point, situated near Ruby Rapids and the Allison Creek Campground. The map reveals the early recreational and utility infrastructure of the mid-1960s, including a Lookout Tower on Chair Point and several remote habitations such as Hinkley Cabin and Long Cabin. Notable terrain features like Keating Ridge and Van Ridge flank the river valley, while small-scale mining activity is indicated by a Prospect located high on the slopes above Allison Creek. This survey captures a moment when the area was primarily accessed by Jeep Trails, emphasizing the isolated character of the Idaho wilderness before modern development reached these reaches of the Salmon River.
