Central Idaho

United States

Central Idaho shares 53 connections with 6402 other places across 12 topics, with nature connections forming the dominant cluster. The 1972 Sawtooth NRA Act protected a large part of the region's backcountry, fish, and game from urban sprawl and land division, threading Central Idaho into connections around conservation and land policy. Recreation ties span skiing, hot springs, hiking, and white water rafting. Industrial history runs through lumber and mining, and the 1967 film Charlie, the Lonesome Cougar recorded one of the last river log drives on the North Fork of the Clearwater River. California and Oregon share many co-connections with Central Idaho.
