2017 Map of Ulysses

About this map

Ulysses sits within a complex network of steep drainages and mountain peaks in this Lemhi County landscape. The topography is dominated by the Salmon River corridor, which flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by numerous steep-walled canyons including Hale Gulch and Sawlog Gulch. High-elevation landmarks such as Bald Mtn and Dutchler Mtn rise above the Salmon National Forest, with the later overlooking Dutchler Basin. The map documents an intricate system of remote forest access routes like Squaw Creek Rd and Indian Creek Rd, which follow the primary watercourses of Squaw Creek and Indian Cr. Local water sources are noted throughout the high country, including Marlin Spring and Coyote Spring, illustrating the critical role of dispersed water points in this arid, timbered environment.
