1990 Map of Lamoille

About this map

The small community of Lamoille sits at the foot of the Humboldt Mountains, where the Lamoille Valley meets the dramatic elevation of the Ruby Mountains Wilderness. This 1990 survey captures a landscape defined by sharp glacial carving and alpine hydrology, featuring high-altitude water bodies like Griswold Lake and Seitz Lake. The drainage network is complex, with Lamoille Creek, Talbot Creek, and Thomas Canyon Creek cutting through the terrain. Evidence of local infrastructure and recreation is scattered throughout, from the Cemetery and FS Station in the valley to the Power House Picnic Area Gaging Sta and Thomas Canyon Campground located deeper within the Humboldt National Forest. Traces of local industry appear in the form of a Borrow Pit and Quarry near the base of the mountains, illustrating the intersection of residential settlement and the surrounding wilderness.
