2023 Map of Taylor Mountain

About this map

Thunder Mountain Historic Trl winds through the high-elevation terrain of the Salmon National Forest, tracing a historic route through the Salmon River Mountains. This 2023 edition documents a landscape defined by significant drainage systems and ridgelines, including the headwaters of Iron Creek and the South Fork Moyer Creek. The area is anchored by prominent summits like Taylor Mtn and Moyer Peak, which overlook several alpine water features such as Iron Lake and the Hat Cr Lakes. The presence of the Old Indian Trl and the Ridge Road To Iron Lake Trl indicates a long history of mountain passage, connecting isolated basins and meadows like Goodluck Meadow. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Lemhi and Custer Counties, reflecting the remote governance of this wilderness area.
