About this map

The Continental Divide forms the high-altitude boundary between Idaho and Montana on this map, marking the split between the Beaverhead National Forest and Salmon National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the prominence of Goldstone Mountain and is defined by an extensive network of drainage systems, including Sandy Creek, Kenney Creek, and Pattee Creek.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is visible through numerous prospects, an Adit, and a specific Mine Shaft, illustrating the area's mining heritage. Cultural and historical travel is highlighted by the Lewis and Clark Backcountry Byway / Adventure Road and the National Scenic Trail. Notable water sources such as Sharkey Hot Spring and Lewis and Clark Spring indicate the intersection of geothermal activity and early exploration routes in Lemhi County.
