1990 Map of Lee Peak

About this map

Lee Peak rises as a central landmark in this high-desert portion of the East Range, where rugged topography is defined by a series of deep drainage systems. The landscape is marked by the industrial presence of the Yellowstone Mine, situated near the head of Yellowstone Canyon. Water sources, critical in this arid environment, are specifically identified at Rawhide Spring and Yellowstone Spring, which likely served as vital points for early prospectors and ranchers. The mapping of Klondike Pass and Klondike Canyon to the south suggests a network of natural travel corridors used to navigate the elevation changes between the peaks and lower basins. Evidence of modern infrastructure appears through the Trans Lines cutting across the eastern slopes, while the northern reaches are dominated by the dramatic cuts of Highrock Canyon and Rawhide Canyon.
