About this map

Leesburg anchors the northwestern corner of this study, positioned near Napias Cr where Smith Gulch and Wards Gulch descend from the surrounding high country. The landscape is dominated by the Salmon River Mountains within the Salmon National Forest, characterized by steep drainage systems like Rabbit Cr and Pony Cr. Transportation is defined by forest development roads and specialized routes such as the Ridge Road to Moose Creek and others, which navigate the high ridges including Phelan Ridge and Gutzman Ridge.

High-altitude water bodies and meadows define the eastern and southern reaches, from Wallace Lake and U P Lake in the northeast to the open expanse of Perreau Meadows near Phelan Mtn. The map reveals a remote network of springs and creeks, such as Crib Spring and Chipps Cr, tracing the rugged topography of Lemhi County. These features illustrate the area's continued use for resource management and backcountry access, maintaining the traditional corridors between historic mining and ranching hubs.
