About this map

The Continental Divide defines the high-elevation boundary along the northeast corner of this Beaverhead County landscape, where the Continental Divide NST follows the ridgeline between Idaho and Montana. Much of the territory falls within the Salmon National Forest, characterized by steep drainage systems like Rocky Canyon and Cedar Gulch. The map identifies critical communication infrastructure at high points, including the Salt Creek Repeater and the Salt Creek Electronic Site, which overlook the western slopes toward the Lemhi Valley.

A network of forest roads, such as Wildcat Creek Rd and Reservoir Creek Rd, provides access to these high basins. Water sources are plentiful throughout the drainages, with Quaking Asp Cr and Hawley Cr carving through the terrain. The presence of the Fenceline Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 177 suggests the intersection of public land management and local ranching or utility access in this high-country environment.
