About this map

The South Fork Salmon River carves through this high-elevation Idaho landscape, defining a network of drainages and peaks in Valley County. High points like Wild Buck Peak, Monumental Peak, and Rocky Peak overlook a system of tributaries including Bull Creek, Goat Creek, and the curiously named Sixteen-to-one Creek. This area is characterized by its limited human infrastructure, centered primarily around backcountry navigation and ranching history.

Evidence of local activity is found at Cupp Corral in the northwest and along the Stratton Creek Trail, which provides access to Stratton Basin. The presence of several small water bodies, notably Long Lake at the northern edge, suggests a high mountain environment where seasonal water flow from peaks like these feeds the larger Salmon River system. This survey preserves the topographical layout of these watersheds and summits as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
