2011 Map of Teapot Mountain

About this map

The South Fork Salmon River and its tributary, the East Fork South Fork Salmon River, carve through this central Idaho landscape, creating a network of ridges and bars that defined local accessibility in the early 21st century. High-elevation points like Teapot Mountain and Eagle Rock overlook a backcountry largely reachable only by specialized infrastructure, including the Krassel-US Forest Service Airport and the Reed Ranch Airport. The mapping reveals a distinct pattern of seasonal activity concentrated along the riverbanks, evidenced by several established recreation sites such as Salmon Point Campground and the Buckhorn Bar Campground. Significant natural landmarks, such as Phoebe Meadow and Deadman Ridge, illustrate the complex drainage systems of Phoebe Creek and Deadman Creek as they flow toward the Salmon River canyon.
