2011 Map of Leesburg

About this map

Leesburg anchors this 2011 survey of the Salmon River Mountains, a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-altitude hydrology. The map traces the intricate drainage patterns of the region, from the headwaters of Napias Creek near Devlin Falls to the high waters of Wallace Lake and U P Lake. Topographic details reveal a history of resource extraction and mountain access, marked by numerous gulches like Smith Gulch, Wards Gulch, and Oregon Gulch. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the massive profile of Phelan Mountain and Phelan Ridge, with local landmarks such as Crib Spring providing vital water points in the high country. Primitive roads and trails, including the Perreau Crk Tr and the Nat For Dev Rd 082, weave through the drainage basins of Rabbit Creek and Pony Creek, illustrating the remote connectivity of this Idaho backcountry.
