About this map

Salmon National Forest defines the rugged geography of this Lemhi County quadrangle, where the high ridges of the Salmon River Mountains reach their peak at Lake Mtn. The landscape is a network of named drainages and high-altitude pastures, including Wapiti Meadows, Perreau Meadows, and Powderhouse Gulch. Significant watercourses such as Williams Creek and Henry Creek carve through the terrain, providing essential landmarks for navigation in this wilderness area.

Evidence of the region's human and geologic history is visible in the trail and road networks, most notably the Thunder Mountain Historic trail and the Ridge Road To Iron Lake (Snow). These routes, along with landmarks like Williams Creek Summit and China Spring, reflect the area's legacy of transit and resource exploration. Modern forest management is illustrated by specific service roads like Moccasin Creek Rd and Perreau Creek Rd, which provide access to Deep Creek Ridge and the various forks of the local creek systems.
