About this map

The Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness dominates this 1998 revision, marking a landscape defined by protected waterways and rugged terrain. The intersection of the Salmon Wild and Scenic River and the Middle Fork Clearwater Wild and Scenic River creates a corridor of preserved river ecology, featuring notable navigational points like Gunbarrel Rapids and Killum Point Rapids.

Evidence of wilderness management is clear through sites such as the Skunk Camp Lookout and the Square Top Campsite near Hidden Lake. The boundary between the Bitterroot National Forest and the Salmon National Forest runs through the northern section, while the Horse Creek Bridge provides a rare point of man-made infrastructure crossing the numerous named drainages like West Horse Creek and Gunbarrel Creek.
