2013 Map of Lyman Pass

About this map

Lyman Pass serves as a central topographic corridor between the high ridges of Middle Mountain and the expansive drainage basins that define this corner of southern Idaho. The landscape is heavily marked by its water sources and rugged canyons, including Emery Canyon and the winding course of Birch Cr. Public lands dominate the eastern portion of the sheet, where the boundary of the Sawtooth National Forest meets the northern edge of the City of Rocks Natl Reserve. The small settlement of Moulton and the wider Junction Valley provide evidence of rural habitation, supported by a network of local routes like Birch Creek Rd and Junction Valley Rd. This map reveals how the difficult terrain shaped the movement of people and the allocation of conservation lands in the modern era.
