About this map

Salmon National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain in Lemhi County, characterized by a complex network of drainages and ridges. The map identifies the Lake Mountain Radio Tower as a primary landmark, standing as a focal point for communication in this mountainous region. Steep ridgelines like Deep Creek Ridge separate the various tributaries of the Salmon River system, including Moccasin Creek and Williams Creek.

Logistical and recreational hubs are few, centered primarily around the Cougar Point Recreation Site and a nearby Picnic Area. The landscape is further defined by important passes and water sources such as Williams Creek Summit and China Spring. This 1980s survey captures the area’s importance for both forest management and communication infrastructure, tracing the paths of the West Fork Perreau Creek and the multiple branches of Pack Creek.
