About this map

Leadore serves as the primary hub in this Lemhi County landscape, where the Lemhi River and Texas Creek converge at the foot of the mountain range. The town's grid, including streets like N Railroad St and Commerce St, reflects its development alongside the historic Railroad corridor. Further north, the smaller settlement of Leadville sits near Italian Gulch and the boundary of the Salmon National Forest.

Evidence of the area's rural history is scattered throughout the valley, from the Junction Cem and McRea Cem to the namesake Leadore Airport. The map highlights a complex network of ranch and mining roads, such as Jakes Mine Rd and Adams Ranch Rd, which penetrate the canyons and gulches like Jakes Canyon and Waugh Gulch. The hydrology of the region is notably detailed, featuring numerous named springs like Soapstone Spring and Spr of Bannack Pass that feed into the larger creek systems.
