1999 Map of Waugh Mountain

About this map

Salmon River carving through the heart of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness defines this landscape. The map records the high-elevation isolation of the Idaho and Lemhi County line, where steep ridges like Bitterroot Ridge and Waugh Ridge drop sharply toward the river canyon. This area remains defined by its wilderness status, showing few signs of permanent habitation beyond the Lantz Bar Station and the remote Eakin Cabin. The river corridor itself is marked by distinctive bars and rapids, including Lantz Bar and the Rainier Rapids, which served as vital landmarks for those navigating the canyon. At higher elevations, the Hotspot Lookout and Lost Packer Peak provide strategic vantage points over the Salmon National Forest and Payette National Forest.
