About this map

Diamond Peak dominates this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Lemhi and Butte Counties. As part of the Lemhi Range, the terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes and a network of deep drainages. The area is divided between the Targhee National Forest and the Challis National Forest, highlighting its importance as managed federal land.

A system of primitive routes provides access through this wilderness, including the Rocky Canyon Trl and the South Fork Meadow Trl. Water sources are primarily seasonal or high-mountain forks, such as North Fork Pass Creek and Badger Creek. The nomenclature of the land reflects early industry and natural features, seen in names like Sawmill Canyon, Little Sawmill Canyon, and Bighorn Canyon. This survey provides a precise look at the topography and drainage patterns before modern development altered these high-country corridors.
