2017 Map of Blackbird Mountain

About this map

Salmon National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this region in Lemhi County, where several prominent peaks rise above the surrounding terrain. Blackbird Mtn and Quartzite Mtn dominate the northern and central sections, while Red Rock Peak stands to the south. The area is defined by a series of steep drainages, including the headwaters of Big Deer Creek and Yellowjacket Creek, which carve through the Yellowjacket Mountains. Historical access routes such as Yellowjacket Lake Rd and Blackbird Mtn Rd trace the ridgelines and valley floors, connecting isolated geographic landmarks like Remenclau Saddle and Porphyry Ridge. The intricate network of seasonal streams, such as Musgrove Creek and Fourth of July Creek, highlights the complex watershed of this mountainous interior.
