2017 Map of Shoup

About this map

The Salmon River corridor and the settlement of Shoup define this high-altitude landscape along the state line. In 2017, the map illustrates the transition between the Bitterroot National Forest to the north and the Salmon National Forest to the south. This is a region defined by complex drainage networks and steep-walled terrain, notably at Blue Nose and Sheepeater Point. The Divide NRT follows the crest of the mountains, tracing the border between Ravalli County, Montana, and Lemhi County, Idaho. For researchers of the local river economy or wilderness recreation, the map details numerous named drainages such as Boulder Cr, Spring Cr, and Horsefly Gulch. Historical land use is suggested by the presence of early national forest development roads like Nat For Dev Rd 038 and the riverside Salmon River Rd.
