2017 Map of Riggins

About this map

The Salmon River and Little Salmon River converge near the town of Riggins, a canyon settlement defined by its dramatic vertical geography. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of the town to the vast reaches of the Nez Perce National Forest, where topography rises sharply from the riverbanks to summits like Schoolmarm Peak and Preacher Mtn. Local infrastructure is concentrated along the narrow river corridors, including S Main St and Cemetery Rd, which leads to the North Riggins Cem. Notable landforms such as Whiskey Butte, Garrison Flat, and Island Bar suggest a history of varied land use, from logging and forestry to recreational river access. Further south, the map identifies the small settlement of Dogtown, tucked into the folds of the canyon near Little Berg Cr.
