About this map

Meyers Cove serves as the focal point of this backcountry landscape, situated at the confluence of Camas Creek and its western tributaries. The terrain is defined by its mining history, centered on the Fluorspar Ridge area. Evidence of mineral exploration and extraction is clear through the presence of the Red Spar Mine near the mouth of Hammer Creek and the Big Lead Mine further east. These sites, along with Fluorspar Gulch, indicate a specialized industrial focus within the drainage basin.

The hydrological network is intricate, with West Fork Camas Creek, Martindale Creek, and Melville Creek cutting through the interior towards the main channel. Smaller drainages like Flume Creek and Sheep Creek suggest a landscape primarily shaped by water and elevation, with very limited infrastructure beyond the primary access road labeled Rd Off Camas Cr. This document provides a record of land use and geography in Lemhi County prior to more recent shifts in forest management.
