2023 Map of Riggins

About this map

The confluence of the Salmon River and the Little Salmon River serves as the focal point for Riggins, a community defined by its orientation toward Idaho's dramatic river canyons. This 2023 edition highlights a landscape where federal lands of the Nez Perce National Forest dominate the surrounding peaks and basins, including Preacher Mtn and Schoolmarm Peak. Local landmarks such as Riggins Cem and Island Bar are clearly identified, while the intricate drainage patterns of Fiddle Creek and Race Creek underscore the steep relief. The map documents the vital transport corridors of S Main St and Big Salmon Rd, alongside numerous forest development roads that penetrate the backcountry towards Whiskey Butte and Garrison Flat. This modern survey provides a detailed record of the intersections between human settlement and the vast protected wilderness of the Idaho panhandle's rugged interior.
