1963 Map of Taylor Mountain

About this map

The boundary between Lemhi and Custer counties cuts across this high-elevation landscape, where the Salmon National Forest meets the Challis Nat Forest. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks and alpine hydrology, centered on the prominent summit of Taylor Mountain and the high ridges of Moyer Peak. These peaks feed a complex network of drainage systems, including South Fork Iron Creek and the headwaters of the Middle Fork Hat Creek. Outdoor recreation and land management are evident through the presence of the Iron Lake Campground situated beside Iron Lake, accessible by the winding Salmon River Road. The map also captures several high-meadow and spring features such as Squawboard Meadow and Dishrag Spring, illustrating the varied topography of this wilderness area during the early 1960s.
