1997 Map of Cottonwood Creek

About this map

Lemhi Valley forms the high-altitude backdrop for this late 20th-century survey along the Idaho Montana state line. The Continental Divide serves as the primary boundary here, separating Beaverhead National Forest from the Targhee National Forest and the Dubois Ranger District. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage network, where headwaters such as Eighteenmile Creek and Cottonwood Creek flow through deep-cut valleys. Near the eastern edge, a Scenic Trail follows the spine of the divide, offering a glimpse into the recreation-focused land management of the era.
