About this map

Thunder Mountain Historic corridor dominates the northern reaches of this high-elevation terrain within the Salmon National Forest. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and prominent summits, including Moyer Peak and Taylor Mtn, which straddle the boundary between Lemhi Co and Custer Co. A network of water sources such as Salt Cr, Woodtick Cr, and Goodluck Cr feed the larger basins, while Squawboard Meadow provides a distinct break in the steep topography.

Remote backcountry access is traced through established routes like Lower Iron Lake, leading toward the southern cluster of alpine waters. This area contains several high-altitude lakes and springs, including Iron Lake, the Hat Cr Lakes, and the uniquely named Dishrag Spring. The survey details a wilderness primarily used for forest management and recreation, where the headwaters of Moyer Cr and Iron Cr originate among the peaks.
