About this map

Salmon River flows through this section of Lemhi County, joined by major tributaries including Owl Creek and Panther Creek. The terrain is marked by high elevations and seasonal water sources, evidenced by the presence of Sagebrush Mountain and the Sagebrush Lookout to the south. Historically significant landmarks include the Owl Creek Hot Springs and the Cove Creek Bridge, which provides a crossing point for the Salmon River Rd as it tracks the river's winding course.

The map reveals a landscape defined by steep gulches and high-altitude flats, such as Skull Gulch, Pretty Gulch, and Poverty Flat. Local drainage patterns are complex, with waters from Dutch Oven Creek and Rancherio Creek feeding into the larger river systems. This 2011 survey serves as a record of the remote infrastructure and natural geography of the region, including named locations like Corral Flat and Sagebrush Spring.
