2013 Map of Bighorn Crags

About this map

Salmon National Forest dominates this Lemhi County landscape, where the Salmon River carves a deep path through the mountain terrain. The map documents a wilderness geography defined by high peaks and strategic lookout points, notably Sagebrush Mtn and the Sagebrush Lookout. Geothermal activity is recorded at the Owl Creek Hot Springs north of the river, while human access is restricted to narrow corridors like Salmon River Rd and Panther Creek Rd, which meet at the Cove Creek Bridge. The map serves as a detailed record of the drainage networks of Owl Cr and Panther Creek as they feed the main river system. Notable landmarks such as the Bighorn Crags and several named flats like Poverty Flat and Corral Flat provide essential reference points for navigating this backcountry area.
