Abstract Cultural resource inventories have identified,205 individual sites
on public land along the Lower Salmon River, Idaho. These sites
represent a rich and diverse record of the human occupation and
utilization of the river canyon during the past 10,000 years. Each
of these 205 sites contains its own unique record of human activity,
and as a group form a significant historic district.
Each cultural resource site has been damaged to some degree by
natural and/or human sources of deterioration. The degree of damage
from modern human use of the area is accelerating. Thus, there is
an increasing challenge to protect the unique and varied cultural
resources as well as provide outdoor recreation users the opportunity
to observe and understand the rich archeological value along
the river.
Through an intensive cultural resource management program, the
Bureau of Land Management can provide the protection necessary to
prevent further loss of the historic values present on public land
along the Lower Salmon River. The Lower Salmon River Cultural
Resource Management Plan outlines short-term as well as long-term
management actions to achieve the appropriate level of protection.
