2013 Map of Salmon

About this map

The town of Salmon sits at the confluence of the Salmon River and Lemhi River, serving as a central hub in the deep Lemhi Valley. This 2013 topographic survey illustrates the transition from the structured street grid of the town center to the expansive reaches of the Salmon National Forest. Higher elevations to the west are dominated by the Salmon River Mountains, where prominent landmarks such as Morning Glory Peak and Turner Gulch define the high country. Agricultural and irrigation infrastructure is evident through features like the Big First Ditch near the northern settlement of Carmen. The map also details the local road network connecting outlying areas like Big Flat and Pollard Canyon, providing a clear view of how the valley's topography has dictated the patterns of settlement and transport along the river corridors.
