About this map

Bayhorse and its surrounding mining claims define this portion of Custer County, Idaho, where deep gulches and high peaks reveal a long history of mineral extraction. The landscape is dominated by the steep elevations of Ramshorn Mountain and Keystone Mountain, with numerous historic operations such as the Keystone Mine, Skylark Mine, and Ramshorn Mine tucked into the drainages of Garden Creek and Bayhorse Creek.

Transport through this territory follows the natural contours of the land, with Bayhorse Creek Rd and Birch Creek Rd providing access to the interior. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is marked by the path of the Salmon River, which collects the runoff from several named tributaries including Wood Creek and Juliette Creek. This survey captures the layout of these industrial sites and their relationship to the high-altitude terrain at the start of the 21st century.
