About this map

Lewis and Clark Rd winds through this section of Lemhi County, tracing a path of historical significance through a landscape defined by sharp drainage gulches and canyon systems. The name of Gold Star Gulch near the intersection of E Tower Creek Rd and Tom Boyle Rd suggests a history of prospecting in the hills above Tower Creek.

Downstream, the terrain opens into Badger Basin, where multiple watercourses including Carmen Creek and Smout Creek converge. The mapping of Davis Canyon and Golway Gulch illustrates how local family names have been permanently etched into the geography of these southern foothills. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the modern road network and water distribution across the Badger Spring Gulch area before subsequent landscape changes.
