2011 Map of Yellow Peak

About this map

Blue Jay Mine and the Ray Lode Mine are situated among the high-altitude drainages of the Lemhi Range in this northern Idaho survey. The landscape is defined by its complex network of watercourses, including the Big Eightmile Creek and the Big Timber Creek, which flow through deep basins like Devils Basin. These names suggest a history of early prospecting and rugged exploration within Lemhi County. Notable elevations such as Yellow Peak, Gunsight Peak, and Junction Peak provide clear orientation points for those studying the physical geography of the region. The presence of the Big Eightmile Campground indicates the area's contemporary role as a destination for outdoor activity, while the scattered creek labels like Lake Fork and Park Fork illustrate the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped this high-country terrain over decades.
