2021 Map of Lee

About this map

The Lee settlement sits at the base of the western Ruby Mountains slopes, where the S Fork Humboldt River emerges from the high drainage basins of the Humboldt National Forest. This region is defined by deep geological incisions including Echo Canyon and Box Canyon, which drain westward toward the valley floor. The landscape is structured by a network of historic trails and forest roads that trace the rugged topography, such as the Kleckner Creek Trl and Rattlesnake Creek Trl. High-altitude features like Drown Peak overlook a system of seasonal and perennial waters, including Lee Spring and Hale Cr. The map details the transition from the high alpine environment of the national forest down to the river-fed lands surrounding the community of Lee.
