2017 Map of Stanley

About this map

The confluence of Valley Cr and the Salmon River serves as the focal point for the neighboring settlements of Stanley and Lower Stanley. This high-altitude basin, where the Challis National Forest meets the Sawtooth National Forest, is defined by its glacial hydrology and modern infrastructure. Local history is anchored at the Stanley Cem and the Stanley Airport, which occupy a relatively flat terrace above the river. To the south, the landscape transitions into the Sawtooth Valley, where the Sawtooth Fish Hatchery stands near the outlet of Little Redfish Lake. The drainage patterns of Fishhook Cr and Redfish Lake Cr illustrate the complex water network feeding into the larger Redfish Lake, while Sheep Bridge provides a tangible crossing point for researchers tracing early mountain transit routes.
