About this map

The high ridges of the Lemhi Range dominate this portion of the Salmon National Forest, where steep drainages and alpine peaks define the high-altitude landscape. Rising to prominent summits like Sheephorn Peak and Rocky Peak, the terrain is carved by a complex network of waterways, including Big Timber Creek and the Middle Fork Little Timber Creek. These streams flow through deep basins such as Swan Basin, eventually descending toward the valley floor near Leadore Hill.

Water management and high-country access are evident through features like Stone Reservoir and the extensive system of Forest Service roads, including Big Timber Creek Road. For the researcher or outdoorsman, the map detail captures the remote geography of Nez Perce Lake and the various forks of Little Timber Creek, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use and conservation in this corner of Lemhi County.
