About this map

Mount Harrison dominates the high-altitude landscape of the Albion Mountains, serving as a central landmark within the Sawtooth National Forest. This 2001 revision of the local topography reveals a region defined by sharp elevation changes and essential water resources. At the high peaks, the Lake Cleveland Complex and Lake Cleveland indicate a hub for recreation and seasonal residency, specifically at the Thompson Flat Summer Home Area.

Lower elevations and deep drainages like Clyde Creek and Cassia Creek show the patterns of land use and extraction. The map identifies the Myers Mine and various prospects, pointing to a history of mineral exploration in the canyons. Names like Bedke Canyon and Cooney Hollow suggest early family ties to the land, while the presence of a Gaging Station on Cassia Creek highlights the ongoing management of water in this arid Idaho environment.
