About this map

Yellow Bear Lake sits at the high-elevation center of this Madison County landscape, surrounded by the towering peaks of the Snowcrest Range. The topography is defined by sharp ridges and deep drainage basins, including the rugged Sliderock Mountain and the prominent Spur Mountain. Water from these heights feeds a complex network of tributaries, with Ledford Creek and Lone Rock Creek flowing toward the northwest, while the West Fork Ruby River and Beaver Creek dominate the southern reaches.

Access through this remote terrain is centered on Ledford Pass, where the primitive Ledford Creek Rd provides a crossing point through the mountains. This 2011 survey documents the area as a largely undeveloped wilderness, where features like Snowslide Creek and Deadman Creek reflect the challenging nature of the environment. The map captures the watershed as it was before modern changes, preserving the original courses of the Ruby River and its numerous mountain-fed branches.
