1987 Map of Nicholia
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
Nicholia sits at the northern edge of the Birch Creek Valley in Lemhi County, a landscape defined by high-elevation drainage systems and the steep eastern slopes of the Targhee National Forest. This 1981 data, published in 1987, reveals an environment where water sources like Magpie Spring, Keg Spring, and Sagebrush Spring were essential for the sparse human presence. The topography is deeply incised by numerous gulches, including Smelter Gulch and Viola Gulch, which hint at the region's historic mining activity and the transport routes required to move ore through the canyons.
