2024 Map of Tincup Hill

About this map

Tincup Hill and its surrounding drainages characterize this high-elevation landscape within the Salmon National Forest. The map detail follows the divide between the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness to the northwest and the extensive ridge systems of the Lemhi County backcountry. Notable topographic landmarks include Oreana Ridge, Long Tom Ridge, and Beartrap Ridge, which define the watersheds of Sourdough Creek and Owl Creek. Remote water sources such as Dishpan Spring, Beartrap Spring, and Oreana Spring are identified throughout the terrain. While mostly wilderness, the presence of historical tracks like the Mine Rd Off 123 and Mining Loop Off 123 points to a legacy of resource extraction in these remote mountains. Modern recreation is represented by the Owl Creek Trl and East Owl Creek Trl, which navigate the steep descent into Willow Meadow and the surrounding basins.
