About this map

Goat Mountain stands as a central peak along the rugged border of Idaho and Montana, anchoring a landscape defined by the high crest of the Beaverhead Mountains. This 1965 survey records a network of resource extraction and mountain transit during the mid-20th century. The Continental Divide Boundary serves as both a political and topographical line, separating the Salmon National Forest in Idaho from the Beaverhead National Forest in Montana.

Lode mining activity is evident across the western slopes, with several named operations including the Buckhorn Mine, Maryland Mine, and Commodore Mine. These sites are linked by a system of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails, including the Continental Divide Trail. In the lower elevations to the south, the terrain gives way to the valley of the Lemhi River, fed by drainage systems like Eightmile Creek and Little Eightmile Creek.
