2013 Map of Bayhorse

About this map

Bayhorse is situated at the heart of this high-elevation landscape within the Challis National Forest, where steep drainages and prominent peaks define the geography. The settlement is positioned along Bayhorse Creek, surrounded by significant geological features including Ramshorn Mountain and Keystone Mountain. The drainage patterns of Bull of the Woods Gulch and Merrimac Gulch illustrate the complex vertical relief that once supported regional mining activities. To the south and east, the Salmon River carves through the terrain, joined by Birch Creek and Wood Creek. The network of forestry routes like Garden Creek Road and Bayhorse Creek Road provides access to remote reaches such as Juliette Basin and Daugherty Spring, mapping a territory where narrow gulches and high summits have historically dictated human movement and industry.
