About this map

Salmon Mtn Lookout stands as a prominent sentinel over this high-altitude landscape where the Bitterroot National Forest meets the Salmon National Forest. The geography is defined by a series of high ridges and peaks, including Salmon Mtn, Mount Harrington, and Stripe Mtn, which straddle the boundary between Idaho and Lemhi counties. Water flows from these heights through a network of creeks like Goat Creek and Swet Creek, feeding isolated alpine basins such as Swet Lake and the Hamilton Lakes.

Movement through this wilderness relies on established forest routes like the Shoup-Elk City road and the Square Top-West Horse trail. The map details a complex drainage system, where the Stripe Creek Divide separates various mountain watersheds. This survey captures a modern view of a preserved backcountry, documenting specific landmarks like Eakin Point and Witter Point that remain essential for navigation in the Idaho interior.
