About this map

May Mountain and Long Mountain dominate this central Lemhi County landscape, where complex hydrological patterns define the high country. The terrain is deeply incised by multiple drainage systems, including the headwaters of Hayden Creek and its significant West Fork Hayden Creek tributary. To the southwest, the Morgan Creek system is clearly delineated through its north and east forks, illustrating the sharp ridgelines that separate these distinct watersheds.

Evidence of human infrastructure is sparse in this high-elevation area, primarily restricted to the southern edge of the quadrangle. Here, Morse Creek Rd follows the winding path of Morse Creek, providing one of the few access points into this part of the Salmon River Mountains. Smaller drainages like Tater Creek, Bray Creek, and Cold Creek provide further topographic detail for those tracking local geographical markers or surveying the primitive road network as it existed in the early 21st century.
