About this map

Leadore serves as the central hub of this high-altitude valley, where the Lemhi River meets a network of descending mountain creeks. The settlement pattern here follows the drainage of the Lemhi Valley, with the older site of Junction and its corresponding Junction Cemetery situated just north of the town. These locations, along with Leadville to the east, reflect the early ranching and mining developments of Lemhi County.

Transport routes like Old Hwy 28 and the Leadore Airport trace the valley floor, while the surrounding landscape is carved by numerous drainages such as Railroad Canyon, Texas Creek, and Eighteenmile Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure, including McRea Cemetery and family-named terrain features like Jakes Canyon and Thompson Gulch, illustrating how the community integrated with the complex hydrology of the Bitterroot Range foothills.
