2017 Map of Waugh Mountain

About this map

Salmon River canyons and the high ridges of the Idaho interior dominate this 2017 survey, where three national forests converge. The Salmon National Forest, Bitterroot National Forest, and Payette National Forest meet in a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and river-driven geography. Along the river, several bars and rapids are named, including Lantz Bar and the Lantz Rapids, while the Lower Salmon River road provides the primary corridor through the steep terrain. Higher elevations feature distinctive landmarks like Waugh Mtn, Lost Packer Peak, and Lost Packer Lake. This map records the modern administrative and natural boundaries of the region, specifically at the intersection of Lemhi and Idaho counties, illustrating how early trails and river features continue to define access to this wilderness.
