1989 Map of Stroud Creek

About this map

Salmon National Forest and Challis National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape in eastern Idaho, where steep drainages and canyon walls define the geography. The map reveals an intricate network of watercourses, including the convergence of Patterson Creek, Mill Creek, and Ferry Creek as they flow from the interior mountains. A notable landmark is Everson Lake, situated near the southern boundary in a glacially carved basin above Everson Creek. The inclusion of Devils Canyon and various 4WD tracks suggests a terrain that remained largely inaccessible except to those following primitive routes. This survey, compiled from 1980s photography, documents the wild character of Lemhi County before modern development, marking the presence of a single Radio Tower as a rare sign of modern infrastructure amidst the sprawling drainages of Big Eightmile Creek and Stroud Creek.
