2013 Map of May Mountain

About this map

May Mtn and the high peaks of the Lemhi Range dominate this interior portion of Lemhi County, Idaho. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Salmon National Forest and Challis National Forest, where a complex network of canyons and creeks drains the high country. Watercourses such as Hayden Cr and its W Fork Hayden Cr, alongside the drainage of Morgan Cr, create a deeply dissected terrain. These hydrological patterns reflect the classic drainage systems of the Central Idaho mountains, where named features like Long Mtn and Spring Gulch provide specific landmarks within the protected federal lands. The map illustrates the specialized management boundaries and forest service road networks established to navigate this high-elevation wilderness in the early twenty-first century.
