Idaho Paddler's Website: a supplemental resource for users of the book Guide to Idaho Paddling.
List of Rivers and Associated Topographic Maps
.
All the river segments covered in detail in Guide to Idaho Paddling are listed below in alphabetical order by the river name. Along with each river are the associated 7.5 minute United States Geological Survey Topographic Maps. All maps are Idaho maps, unless indicated otherwise. Note that the page numbers are for the revised edition of the book.
Additional Notes: In the new revised edition of Guide to Idaho Paddling, we didn't include a list of topo maps associated with each paddling trip. We used the space instead for more paddling trips, but if you'd like to have topo maps with you when paddling, we're including a list here.
(Note also that at one time we also distributed map booklets of selected rivers. The booklets were essentially US Geological Survey topo maps reproduced at scale and overlayed with our paddling notes. Since the maps we include in the book are fairly detailed, there hasn't been much of a demand for them. However, we recently created a series of North Idaho map booklets to supplement the book, and we may try to resurrect map booklets from other parts of the state some time in the future. We'll announce it here if and when they are available.)
