About this map

Salmon National Forest preserves a remote landscape of the Yellowjacket Mountains in Lemhi County, defined by a dense network of high-altitude water bodies. To the north, the Bighorn Crags overlook a cluster of named basins including Skyhigh Lake, Turquoise Lake, and Reflection Lake. This 2017 survey details the drainage patterns of Wilson Creek and Hoodoo Creek, which serve as the primary hydrologic arteries through the center of the quadrangle.

Evidence of historical backcountry transit is found in the Hoodoo Trail, which traverses the high ground near Hoodoo Meadows and Frog Meadows. Access into these isolated reaches is marked by the Yellowjacket Lake Rd, winding through the northeast corner toward Yellowjacket Lake. The terrain is punctuated by significant summits like Puddin Mtn and McEleny Mtn, while the presence of Slaughterhouse Gulch in the southeast hints at early land use patterns in the Idaho wilderness.
