About this map

Robinson Bar sits along a northern bend of the Salmon River, serving as a focal point for this drainage network in Custer County. The landscape is defined by its verticality and water resources, ranging from high points like Robinson Bar Peak and Watson Peak to the deep depressions of Iron Basin. Numerous tributaries, including Warm Springs Creek, Prospect Creek, and Slate Creek, feed into the river system, carving out narrow corridors that have historically dictated movement through this part of Idaho.

Small alpine water bodies such as Hoodoo Lake, Elk Lake, and Swim Lake are scattered across the higher elevations, while The Meadows provides a rare flat opening in the southern portion of the quadrangle. For those interested in the hydrology of the Salmon River basin, the map shows the complex branching of creeks like Last Chance Creek and Beaver Creek, reflecting a wilderness environment where human settlement is sparse and tied to river access.
