About this map

Salt Flat and the surrounding peaks of the Gannett Hills characterize this high-elevation landscape within the Bridger National Forest. The map detail follows the intricate drainage networks of Salt Cr and Coal Cr, showing a terrain deeply carved by seasonal water and geological shifts. While the namesake settlement of Salt Flat remains a primary anchor, the map reveals a modern network of backcountry access points, including Allred Flat and various recreational paths like the Fish Creek Xc Ski Trl.

The western edge of the quadrangle is defined by the steep corridors of Salt Canyon, where Salt Cr runs parallel to the highway. To the east, the landscape rises toward Pine Knoll and the high ridges above Trough Hollow. The inclusion of specific timber and livestock-related infrastructure, such as the Packstring Creek Trl, illustrates the ongoing multi-use management of these Lincoln County lands.
