About this map

Ulysses Mtn and the surrounding Salmon River Mountains dominate this high-elevation terrain within the Salmon National Forest. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where the Salmon River carves through the southern reaches, joined by various tributaries including Dump Cr and Sage Cr. This mid-20th-century update reflects the area's forest management history, showing a network of specialized routes such as Ulysses Lookout Rd and several National Forest Development Roads.

Named water sources like Whisky Spring, Deadwater Spring, and Grindstone Spring suggest historical points of interest for early travelers and forest rangers alike. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive peaks including Indian Peak and ridges like Napoleon Ridge. Small-scale water management is visible at Hall Creek Reservoir and Cummings Lake in the northeastern quadrant, supporting the remote homesteads and camps that dot the gulches and creek beds throughout the quadrangle.
