1966 Map of Badger Spring Gulch

About this map

The Lewis And Clark Location Trail marks a significant historical path through this portion of the Salmon National Forest in the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages including East Fork Gold Creek and Carmen Creek, which cut through the high elevations of Badger Basin and Star Gulch. Human activity in the area is represented by scattered resource extraction points such as a Borrow Pit and several sites labeled Prospect, alongside a Flowing Well located near the southern reach of Golway Gulch. A primitive transportation network consisting of a Jeep Trail and other unimproved routes suggests a remote wilderness character where industry was limited to small-scale exploration and forest management. The presence of Freeman Creek and Smout Creek highlights the intricate watershed that characterizes this Lemhi County terrain.
