About this map

Lee Thomas Crossing serves as a central reference point in this 1966 survey of the high timberlands within the Fremont National Forest. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the North Fork Sprague River, where open clearings like Lee Thomas Meadow and Mulky Meadow break the dense forest cover. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward Gearhart Mountain and the surrounding Gearhart Mountain Wilderness, featuring the high-elevation Gearhart Marsh.

A notable historical marker, the Old Treaty Boundary, cuts across the lower half of the map, indicating legacy land divisions near Head of River Spring. The area's recreational and administrative use is evident through several sites, including the Ingram Guard Sta and a network of campgrounds such as Dead Horse Lake and Dairy Creek Campground. A single Gravel Pit near the river suggests the localized infrastructure needs for the forest roads and Jeep Trails that crisscross the drainage basins.
