About this map

The Salmon River carves through the southern portion of this landscape, serving as a primary drainage for a network of named tributaries. To the north, Square Top and Parker Mountain rise as dominant geographic points, providing a high-altitude backdrop for the numerous creeks that define the local topography. This area is characterized by a dense system of seasonal and perennial watercourses, including Colt Creek, Gunbarrel Creek, and Wheat Creek, which all flow toward the river corridor.

A sense of the infrastructure in this backcountry is provided by the Horse Creek Bridge, a specific crossing point over the major tributary of Horse Creek near its confluence with the Salmon. To the east, Roan Ridge stretches toward Corn Creek, while the southern bend of the river is marked by the distinct prominence of Killum Point. This 2011 survey documents a terrain where names are tied almost exclusively to natural features and the basic access points required to navigate them.
