2024 Map of Lemhi Pass

About this map

Lemhi Pass marks a critical point on the Continental Divide, where the border between Idaho and Montana follows the crest of the Bitterroot Range. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the convergence of the Salmon National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest, preserving the rugged corridors used by early expeditions. The modern topographic data highlights the intersection of the Lewis And Clark Nht Trl and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl, tracing the same ridgelines and drainages known to historical travelers. Numerous watercourses radiate from the divide, including the headwaters of Agency Creek flowing westward and Trail Creek and Frying Pan Creek descending to the east. Remote features like Distant Fountain and the Mine Spr reflect the specialized needs of travelers and laborers in this wilderness terrain.
