About this map

Chief Tendoy Cem stands near the intersection of Chief Tendoy Rd and the Lewis and Clark Hwy, marking a point of significant local heritage in this mountain landscape. The area is dominated by the high ridgelines of the Beaverhead Mountains and the protected lands of the Salmon National Forest. The map shows a complex network of canyons and gulches, including Big Dry Gulch and Napo Canyon, which drain into several named watercourses like Pattee Creek and Agency Creek.

Historically important springs, such as Eckersell Spring, Dragroad Spring, and Napo Spring, are scattered throughout the drainages, suggesting their importance for livestock or early travel routes. The presence of Gould Basin and numerous high-altitude creeks illustrates the traditional geography of Lemhi County's high country, where navigation followed the natural contours of the mountain passes and valley floors.
