2011 Map of Lyman Pass

About this map

Middle Mountain dominates the western half of this 2011 survey, overlooking a drainage network that defines the landscape of southern Idaho. The small settlement of Moulton sits in the southeastern corner near the confluence of several seasonal and perennial flows, including Cottonwood Creek and Junction Creek. This area illustrates a typical high-desert ranching and grazing environment, where access is dictated by primitive routes like Birch Creek Rd and Emery Canyon Rd. The passage at Lyman Pass provides a natural corridor through the terrain, connecting the higher elevations with the valley floors. Water sources are critical in this landscape, marked by named features such as Slide Spring and Blue Hill Creek, which would have been vital points for early settlers and livestock. The map captures the interface between the elevated mountain slopes and the drainages that supported the local cattle industry.
