About this map

Salmon National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of Lemhi County in this early 1960s survey. The terrain is centered on the prominent Duck Creek Point and its neighboring Duck Peak, where a fire Lookout stands watch over a network of drainages including Duck Creek and Rams Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated but active wilderness area, where remote Prospect and Mine symbols indicate the region's enduring connection to mineral exploration.

Water sources are vital landmarks in this drainage system, with named features such as Fourth of July Creek and Beagle Meadow Creek feeding into larger systems. Human activity is clustered around the Yellowjacket Ranger Station and its adjacent Campground, providing a base for forest management. Notable paths like the Jeep TR and various other unmarked trails represent the primary means of navigating this steep mountain environment, connecting ridges and creek beds far from paved roads.
