About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through this Idaho landscape, where the confluence of major tributaries and riverfront bars defined the settlement patterns of the early 21st century. The map highlights the central importance of the canyon floor, where Old Hwy 95 and Old US Hwy 95 parallel the water, connecting the small community of Slate Creek with distinctive landforms like Campbell Flat and Slicker Bar.

Upland features such as Haystack Mountain and the Riverview Saddle overlook a network of creek drainages including Deer Creek and Joe Creek. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of the White Bird Cemetery in the north and markers like Kilgore Orchard offer specific points of interest. The area's recreational and logistical infrastructure is visible through the Skookumchuck Campground and the Slate Creek Airport, illustrating how this corridor serves both travelers and residents in the rugged Idaho interior.
