About this map

The Continental Divide forms a high-altitude spine across this landscape on the border of Idaho and Montana, demarcating the boundary between the Beaverhead National Forest and the Salmon National Forest. This high-country terrain is defined by prominent peaks such as Goat Mtn and East and West Peak, where numerous drainages like Peterson Cr and Little Eightmile Creek originate.

Evidence of resource extraction and alpine travel is visible through the winding Mineral Hill Loop and the presence of the Buckhorn Mine. In the southwest, the terrain descends toward the Lemhi River valley, where Lemhi Rd and Cedar Gulch Rd provide access to the lower elevations. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail traverses the ridges, following the state line and connecting several high-elevation parcels such as PB 48 and PB 54.
