About this map

Henderson Ridge dominates this mountainous landscape along the high border where Idaho meets Montana in the early 1990s. The terrain is divided between the Bitterroot National Forest to the north and the Salmon National Forest to the south, reflecting a wilderness managed for timber and resources. Water sources are critical identifiers in this backcountry, evidenced by named sites like Muleshoe Springs, Tincan Spring, and Grizzly Spring.

Evidence of historical and active land use is marked by the Taylor Creek Mine and other scattered mines, while the Henderson Cabin provides a rare point of human habitation in the southern drainage near Indian Creek. A network of primitive routes, including a Pack Trail and various unnamed tracks labeled simply as Trail, suggests a landscape accessed primarily by foot or horseback, maintaining the remote character of Lemhi County.
