About this map

Salmon National Forest dominates the southwestern portion of this Idaho map, where the high elevations of the Lemhi Range descend into the wide drainages of the Lemhi Valley. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with Hayden Creek and its many tributaries, such as E Fork Hayden Cr and Bear Valley Creek, cutting through the mountainous terrain. Notable landforms like Hayden Basin and the high level of Boulder Flat indicate the varied topography of this wilderness area.

Transportation through this high-country territory is largely limited to unpaved access routes like Hayden Creek Rd and the Tonsmier Ranch Rd, while more remote corridors like the Mill-Hayden Loop Wt provide passage through the interior. The map illustrates a region managed for conservation and resource preservation, characterized by its isolation and the naming of local landmarks like Payne Cr and Zeph Cr that follow the natural contours of the northern Rockies.
