2011 Map of Deer Mountain

About this map

Deer Mountain and its surrounding drainage systems define this high-altitude landscape in Elmore County as documented in the early twenty-first century. The area is dominated by the complex hydrology of the Middle Fork Lime Creek and South Fork Lime Creek, which receive seasonal runoff from features like Spring Ridge and Browns Gulch. This period shows a largely unpopulated wilderness, with infrastructure limited primarily to Lime Creek Rd and a network of minor access roads winding through the southern terrain. Water sources such as Cold Spring and named tributaries like Hole-In-Wall Creek and Roanhide Creek provide essential markers for understanding the natural movement through this territory. The geography reflects a high-country environment where narrow gulches and ridge lines dictate the paths of modern travel and historical exploration alike.
