About this map

The Lemhi Valley serves as a central corridor for this Idaho mountain landscape, where the Lemhi River flows through a series of gulches and high-altitude slopes. In the northeast, the Salmon National Forest blankets the terrain around Mineral Hill, a site indicative of the region's mining and prospecting history. The map records a distinct agricultural and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by the network of local roads such as Lemhi Back Rd and Lee Creek Rd that navigate the varied elevations.

Local history and conservation efforts are visible in features like the Big Spring Creek Hatching Channel and the Junction Cem situated near the intersection of several property boundaries. Water sources define the land use, with tributaries like Big Eightmile Cr, Milk Cr, and Little Timber Cr feeding into the main valley floor. These drainage patterns, including Mollie Gulch and Stroud Gulch, highlight the complex topography between the timbered forest lands and the open valley floor.
