1978 Map of Sheep Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep canyon through this central Idaho wilderness, serving as the primary geographic corridor between the Nez Perce National Forest and the Payette National Forest. This 1978 edition illustrates the remote terrain within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, where access is limited to a network of a Pack Trail routes. Along the river, several bars including Bear Bar and Nixon Bar indicate depositional points once vital for travel or seasonal activity. Notable landmarks such as Sheep Hill and its associated Lookout provide vantage points over a landscape of alpine lakes and dramatic ridges. The presence of Barth Hot Springs and Bruin Creek Campground highlights the area's role as a destination for back-country recreation and river navigation, specifically near the challenging Hancock Rapids.
