2017 Map of Yellow Pine

About this map

Yellow Pine serves as the central hub of this high-elevation Idaho landscape, positioned where the East Fork South Fork Salmon River meets Johnson Creek. The surrounding terrain is a complex network of ridges and high meadows, including Antimony Ridge, Quartz Ridge, and Horse Heaven Meadow. For researchers focusing on the area's development and aviation history, the Johnson Creek Airport and the Pioneer Cem located on Yellowpine Flat offer specific points of interest. The area is largely defined by the intersection of the Payette National Forest and Boise National Forest, with rugged access routes like the Stibnite Rd and Yellowpine-Stibnite road winding through the river canyons. High-altitude features like Riordan Lake and Hennessey Meadow highlight the remote nature of the Salmon River mountains.
