About this map

Bonanza and Sunbeam represent the primary points of human interest in this stretch of the Challis National Forest during the early 21st century. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by high-elevation peaks like Bonanza Peak and Bachelor Mtn, bisected by the dramatic course of the Salmon River and the Yankee Fork. Local history is anchored at the north end by the Boot Hill Cem, a site synonymous with the region's mining heritage near Preachers Cove.

Modern recreation and river access dominate the southern portion of the quadrangle along State Hwy 75. Facilities such as Flat Rock Campground and the Elk Creek Floatboat Access cater to travelers on the river, while landmarks like Indian Riffles mark specific navigational points on the water. The network of forest roads, including Yankee Fork Rd, connects these dispersed settlements and campgrounds through steep canyons and gulches.
