About this map

The Salmon River dominates the eastern corridor of this Lemhi County landscape, where the high mountain terrain of the Salmon National Forest drops toward the river valley. In the late 1980s, the area's geography was defined by a series of significant drainages including Perreau Creek, Williams Creek, and Tenmile Creek. The southern portion of the sheet is anchored by Williams Lake, a prominent water body featuring a dedicated Recreation Site and Boat Ramp.

Evidence of resource extraction and local industry is visible through the Tormay Mine and numerous prospects scattered across the slopes above Sevenmile Creek. Civil infrastructure is concentrated near the river, notably the Salmon Airport in the northeast and a riverside Picnic Area. The map details a network of four-wheel-drive tracks and trails that provided access to these remote sites before modern development altered the backcountry access routes.
