1989 Map of Hayden Creek

About this map

The Salmon National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, where high mountain drainage systems converge into the Lemhi River valley. A historic Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across the northern terrain, marking a significant legal and cultural line through the wilderness. The map documents an area defined by its water resources, including the central Hayden Creek and its many tributaries such as Meadow Creek and Little Sawmill Creek. Local industry and land use are evidenced by a specific Mine location and a Fish Hatchery situated along the lower reach of Hayden Creek near the valley floor. High-altitude features like Hayden Basin and Boulder Flat Creek illustrate the complex topography of the Lemhi Range, while named drainages like Rye Grass Creek and Bear Valley Creek suggest a history of seasonal grazing and wildlife movement within the national forest.
