About this map

Salmon National Forest dominates this section of Lemhi County, defined by a network of gulches and ridges that speak to the area's prospecting and mining history. Named drainages like Gold Bug Gulch and China Gulch converge near Arnett Cr, hinting at the mineral extraction that once drove local development. The presence of California Bar along the forest roads further indicates early placer mining activity in this mountainous terrain.

The landscape is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Jureano Mtn and Phelan Ridge down to the water at Pony Lake and the Napias Creek Falls. A complex system of Forest Service roads, including Panther Creek Rd and Napias Creek Rd, provides access to these remote locations. Local landmarks such as White Horse Basin and Leacock Point provide essential orientation points for those tracing historical land use or topographic features in this part of Idaho.
