About this map

The confluence of the Salmon River and the Lemhi River serves as the geographic and economic heart of this Idaho landscape. The city of Salmon is the primary hub, showing a grid of streets that extend toward the Lemhi Valley and the adjacent foothills. North of town, the community of Carmen sits near the mouth of Carmen Creek, where the Big Flat Ditch indicates a reliance on managed water for local agriculture and settlement.

The surrounding terrain is marked by historical industry and water management, notably the Queen of the Hills Mine tucked into the northern ridges and the presence of the Billy Creek Dam and Gorley Creek Dam to the south. Transportation routes like Old Leesburg Rd and Stormy Peak RD wind through the hills toward landmarks such as Morning Glory Peak and Pollard Canyon, illustrating how the town is integrated with the high country of Lemhi County.
