2017 Map of Mount McGuire

About this map

Mt McGuire stands as a central topographic anchor within the Salmon National Forest, presiding over a landscape defined by glacial activity and high-elevation drainage systems. The northern reaches of the Bighorn Crags dominate this territory, characterized by sharp alpine crests like Fishfin Ridge and Gant Ridge. Water features are abundant across this 2017 survey, where high-altitude basins hold numerous named bodies such as Ship Island Lake, Sheepeater Lake, and the clustered Roaring Creek Lakes. The drainage network, including Roaring Cr and Waterfall Cr, illustrates the complex hydrology of the Lemhi County backcountry. Landmarks like Cathedral Rock and the Beehive provide distinct navigational points for those tracing the wilderness topography, while the inclusion of Shoban Lake and Terrace Lakes highlights the density of the lake basins found throughout this high-mountain region.
