About this map

Targhee National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this 2020 Idaho survey, where the boundary between Lemhi and Clark counties cuts across northern ridges. This is a region of steep, high-desert topography dominated by the namesake Copper Mountain and significant vertical relief. Resource extraction and historical land use are evidenced by the presence of Skull Mine, situated just north of the deep incision of Skull Canyon.

The map reveals a network of canyons that dictate the local movement and drainage, including Pierce Canyon, Timber Canyon, and the extensive Long Canyon, which is followed by Long Canyon Rd. Vital water sources in this arid environment are identified at Kitty Spring and Blue Canyon Spring. These features, along with prominent summits like Bluebird Mtn and Gallagher Peak, provide a detailed record of the Bitterroot Range's southern reaches.
