About this map

Salmon River flows through the southern portion of this Idaho County landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a network of creeks that descend from the surrounding peaks. The topography is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, where features like Barth Hot Springs and Hot Springs Creek are situated along the river's path. Further north, the terrain transitions into a high-elevation plateau dotted with alpine water bodies including Lake Creek Lakes, Sheep Spring Lake, and Rattlesnake Lake.

This 2011 survey highlights the seasonal water sources and springs critical to this wilderness area, such as Sheep Spring and Rattlesnake Spring. The drainage patterns are clearly visible, with Bear Creek, Nixon Creek, and Sabe Creek cutting deep through the landscape toward the river. The absence of major roads or settlements emphasizes the remote character of this region, which is instead defined by named natural landmarks like Goat Lake and Brown Lake.
