1997 Map of Bohannon Spring

About this map

Beaverhead Mountains and the Continental Divide define this high-altitude landscape along the Idaho Montana border during the late 1990s. The region is marked by a complex hydrological network where Bohannon Creek and Geertson Creek gather from numerous named sources like Magpie Spring No 2 and Bohannon Spring. This area within the Salmon National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest reveals a history of resource exploration, evidenced by scattered Prospect and Adit labels throughout the slopes. The map also captures the distinct alpine terrain of Sacajawea Peaks and Center Mountain, with remote 4wd tracks providing the only interior access. Notable for genealogists and local historians are the specifically named landmarks such as Chet Royce Spring and Albertson Spring, which often indicate family-held grazing allotments or historic mountain camps.
