About this map

The Lemhi River valley defines the eastern edge of this 1989 survey, where the small community of Tendoy sits alongside the water and the Roadside Park. This area serves as a gateway to the mountainous terrain of the Salmon National Forest, which dominates the western half of the map. Traces of human activity are scattered throughout the hills, evidenced by numerous Prospects and individual Prospect locations, particularly concentrated around the drainage of McDevitt Creek.

Hydrography is a central theme here, with family-named or descriptively named water sources like Rigger Spring, Smith Spring, and Hodges Spring providing vital points of reference in the high country. Along the river, a Historical Monument and a Gaging Station mark specific points of interest. The map captures the rugged Idaho landscape at a time when traditional mining exploration and ranching-related water rights shaped the land use patterns between Agency Creek and Marmon Canyon.
