2011 Map of Lake Mountain

About this map

Lake Mountain and the surrounding high country of Lemhi County define this landscape of steep drainages and mountain passes. The map documents a complex network of US Forest Service roads, including Moccasin Creek Rd and Ridge Rd, which provide access to the ridge tops and creek bottoms. The geography is dominated by major watercourses such as North Fork Williams Creek and South Fork Williams Creek, which flow through the central portion of the quadrangle. High-altitude points of interest include Williams Creek Summit and Deep Creek Ridge, offering insights into the natural corridors used for navigation through the Salmon River Mountains. Evidence of human activity is found at the Peterson Ranch, while hydrologic features like China Spring and Lake Creek highlight the water sources critical to this high-elevation environment.
