1995 Map of Squirrel Prairie

About this map

The Snake River carves a deep path through this 1995 survey, marking the dramatic border between Oregon and Idaho. This area is characterized by immense elevation changes from the riverbed up to Summit Ridge and Black Mountain. Human presence in this demanding landscape is evidenced by the Hibbs Ranch (Site) and isolated structures like Marks Cabin and Barton Cabin. The map details the complex boundaries of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area and the Hells Canyon Wilderness, where the Western Rim National Recreation Trail follows the high ground above the canyon floor. Historical markers, including a solitary Grave and the Hells Canyon Boat Launch, provide touchpoints for those tracing the history of land use and navigation along this section of the river near its confluence with the Salmon River.
