About this map

Gibbonsville sits along the N Fork Salmon River in this 2017 survey of the high country straddling the Idaho-Montana border. The landscape is defined by the Continental Divide and the intersection of the Salmon National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest. This mapping of Lemhi County and Beaverhead County documents a complex network of mountain drainages and forestry roads, including Gibbonsville Rd and Lick Creek Rd.

Evidence of the area's history is visible in names like Cyanide Gulch, Buster Gulch, and Chinese Gulch, which point toward a heritage of mining and prospecting. Significant peaks like Anderson Mtn and Granite Mtn loom over the drainage basins of Dahlonega Cr and Pierce Cr. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the exact alignment of remote routes such as Ransack Loop and Dahlonega Creek Rd as they navigate the timbered slopes and high meadows.
