2023 Map of Leadore

About this map

Leadore sits at the convergence of high-desert plains and the southern reaches of the Salmon National Forest, serving as a central hub for ranching and forest access. The town’s grid, characterized by streets like N Railroad St and S Railroad St, reflects its history as a rail-dependent outpost along the Lemhi River. To the northeast, the terrain rises sharply into the mountains, where Leadville and features like Railroad Canyon and Waugh Gulch mark the transition from the valley floor to the forested uplands. Genealogists can locate several local burial sites, including Junction Cem and McRea Cem, which are situated near the junction of Lemhi Rd and Junction Rd. The hydrologic landscape is defined by the braided channels of Eighteenmile Creek and Texas Creek, which irrigate the surrounding Adams Ranch Rd area, while the Leadore Airport provides a modern link to this high-altitude ranching community.
