About this map

Sheephorn Peak and the high ridges of the Lemhi Range define this high-altitude landscape within the Salmon National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system where Big Timber Creek and its many tributaries, such as Rocky Creek and Alder Creek, carve through the mountainous terrain. These watercourses are supported by high-elevation features like Stone Reservoir and the remote Nez Perce Lake.

A network of specialized forest routes and trails provides access to the backcountry, including the Rocky Peak Trl leading toward Rocky Peak and the Big Timber Creek Trl. These paths, alongside roads like Nat For Dev Rd 105, trace the movement of forestry and recreational users through Swan Basin and past Leadore Hill. The map serves as a contemporary record of land management and hydrologic patterns in this segment of Lemhi County.
