About this map

The Salmon River carves through this remote stretch of Central Idaho, defining a landscape shaped by narrow river bars and high ridges. The Lantz Bar Forest Service Facility stands near the riverbanks, serving as a primary point of human presence in a territory where the boundaries of the Bitterroot National Forest, Salmon National Forest, and Payette National Forest converge. High-elevation features like Lost Packer Peak and the nearby Lost Packer Lake look down upon the river's path, which is marked by technical navigation points such as Rainier Rapids. Evidence of earlier occupancy and land management is preserved in the location of the Eakin Cabin near Eakin Ridge, while numerous sandbars such as Spindle Creek Bar and Lucky Creek Bar suggest the seasonal nature of the river corridor's geography.
