2017 Map of Salmon

About this map

Salmon serves as the focal point of this Idaho survey, situated where the Salmon River and Lemhi River converge. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Salmon River Mountains and the Salmon National Forest, with Morning Glory Peak standing as a prominent local landmark. The survey documents the integration of water management and transportation in the Lemhi Valley, tracing the Big Flat Ditch alongside the historic route of the Lewis and Clark Trl. On the eastern edge of the valley, the Lemhi County Airport and the City Cem mark the outskirts of the town. This area exhibits a transition from the structured street grid of Salmon—featuring roads like Roosevelt Ave and Leadore Ave—to the expansive terrain of Big Flat and Pollard Canyon, illustrating the relationship between the river-bottom settlements and the surrounding mountain wilderness.
