2024 Map of Riggins

About this map

Riggins occupies the narrow canyon floor where the Little Salmon River joins the main Salmon River, serving as a central hub for this vertical landscape. The settlement is hemmed in by steep slopes leading to landmarks like Schoolmarm Peak and Preacher Mtn, reflecting the constrained geography of this river-front community. Local history is anchored at the Riggins Cem on the northern edge of town, while the surrounding Nez Perce National Forest is marked by a network of forest development roads and family-named terrain features such as McCanen Gulch and Egbert Gulch.
