About this map

Salmon National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this Lemhi County quadrangle, where a complex network of forest roads and pack trails navigates the steep terrain. The map centers on the drainage systems of Carmen Cr and Tower Cr, which have carved deep features like Davis Canyon and Badger Spring Gulch. These waterways serve as the primary conduits for local travel, with Carmen Creek Rd and Tower Creek Rd tracing their respective banks.

Aviation and ranching history are evident in the remote settlement patterns shown here. The Lewis and Clark Airstrip sits in the northwest, providing a critical access point for this high-country wilderness. Further south, local history is preserved in the names of family-run operations and early settlements like Gold Star Gulch and Golway Gulch, while access to private holdings is marked by routes such as Keystone Ranch Rd and Hot Springs Ranch Rd.
