About this map

The Lemhi Range dominates this portion of central Idaho, where high-elevation ridgelines separate the headwaters of several major drainages. Elevations reach over 10,000 feet at Timber Creek Peak and Iron Creek Point, marking a rugged boundary between the Salmon National Forest and Challis National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, including Big Timber Creek and its many tributaries like Lake Creek and Cabin Creek.

Evidence of early access and forest management is found along the Sawmill Canyon Road, which follows the deep cut of Sawmill Canyon. This corridor, along with numerous trails like the Snow Bank Trl and Flatiron Mountain Loop Trl, provides a detailed look at the backcountry infrastructure used for fire lookout access and grazing. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Lemhi and Custer Counties as it traverses the high peaks.
