With moderate precipitation, a long growing season, and fertile soils, the area supports productive ranching and agriculture. The setting combines wide-open prairie views with nearby mountains, forests, and the Salmon River canyon. History Founded in 1862, Cottonwood began as a way station for miners traveling to the goldfields of Florence and Warrens.

In 1877, it was the site of the Battle of Cottonwood during the Nez Perce War, where Chief Joseph's band engaged U.S. forces in a strategic retreat. Today, Cottonwood honors its rich heritage through landmarks like the Monastery of St. Gertrude, established in 1907, and the James V. and Sophia Baker House, built in 1916. The Salmon River flows through a swath of Idaho country that is wild and rugged. It originates in the Sawtooth Range of the Stanley Basin and the canyon itself has some of the oldest minerals visible anywhere on earth, turning and winding in all directions through Idaho towards its confluence with the Snake River. The river earned its name The River of No Return for its wilderness and roadless section spanning a large piece of Idaho from Salmon to Riggins, ID. Early Pioneers built sweep boats that served as the supply line into the canyon but upon reaching their destination there was no way to return back to the starting point, with no roads and the powerful river, these boats would then be disassembled and used for lumber. Hence the name River of No Return. Lewis and Clark came across the river in 1805 but found it to be too rough to navigate due to the daunting canyon walls and dangerous rapids. In the 1860s gold was found and the rush began. Many historic and present-day mines can be seen while traveling along the Salmon River.
