About this map

The Salmon River winds through the southern edge of this Idaho mountain landscape, serving as a primary corridor for the small settlement of Shoup. Located at the boundary between the Bitterroot National Forest and Salmon National Forest, the area is defined by sharp elevation shifts and high-altitude landmarks like the Blue Nose Lookout on the Ravalli Co and Lemhi Co line.

Resource extraction and backcountry navigation are evident throughout the terrain, specifically around the Spring Creek Mines and within the Boulder Basin. The map captures a network of 4WD trails and forest roads connecting remote points such as Sheepeater Point and the Beartrap ridge. These trails trace the complex drainage patterns of the West Fork North Fork and Boulder Creek, reflecting the late-20th-century management of these protected forest lands.
