2024 Map of Lem Peak

About this map

Lem Peak towers as the namesake landmark of this high-elevation region within the Salmon National Forest. The landscape is defined by the sharp topography of the Lemhi Range, where drainage patterns create a dense network of mountain streams including Trail Creek, Basin Creek, and Bear Valley Creek. A complex system of forest routes, such as Basin Creek Rd and the Hayden Creek Loop, provides access to remote high-country features like Basin Lake and Buck Lakes. This map records the modern administrative and natural state of the wilderness, including the clear transition between the deep canyons and the broader Hayden Basin. The land survey grid and forest service trails illustrate how the interior of Idaho is managed for both preservation and recreational access.
