2011 Map of Sal Mountain

About this map

Sal Mountain and the surrounding high country of Lemhi County define this landscape, where early 21st-century topography meets a legacy of mineral extraction. The map records a rugged network of drainage systems feeding toward the Lemhi River in the northeast corner, with several creeks like Mulkey Creek and Baker Creek carving deep paths through the terrain. Evidence of the area's industrial history is found at the Pope Shenon Mine and the Harmony Mine, both situated near the southern and western slopes of the central peaks. Transportation in this part of Idaho is limited to specialized routes such as Salmon Hot Springs Rd and Barracks Ln, alongside numerous Forest Service roads like 5004 and 5030 that provide access to the backcountry.
