About this map

Rock Creek flows through this portion of Custer County, Idaho, serving as a central drainage for numerous mountain tributaries like Cabin Creek, Bridge Creek, and Kelly Creek. The map documents a landscape defined by its remote accessibility, featuring localized points of human presence such as Owen Cabin and the Foster Ranch Landing Strip. These features, along with specialized infrastructure like the South Fork Campground and Rock Creek Campground, suggest a region primarily used for seasonal ranching, aviation, and backcountry recreation.

The intricate drainage network is highly detailed, showing how Warm Spring Creek and Cold Creek converge in the southern reaches, while the South Fork Camas Creek and Hot Creek define the eastern boundaries. This survey provides a precise record of the road and trail connectivity within the Salmon River watershed area, capturing the physical environment before further changes in forest management or land use occurred.
