2013 Map of Yellow Peak

About this map

The Lemhi Range dominates this section of Lemhi County, defined by the meeting of the Salmon National Forest and the Challis National Forest. High-altitude landmarks like Gunsight Peak and Yellow Peak overlook a complex network of headwaters, including the N Fork Little Timber Cr and the Middle Fork Little Timber Cr. The landscape is largely undeveloped, with the primary human footprint represented by the Nat For Dev Rd 096 and the Big Eightmile Campground. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns through Devils Canyon and the Devils Basin, tracing how water from Lake Fork and Park Fork moves through the high-desert mountain terrain. The map is a vital resource for understanding the hydrography of the region, specifically where branches like E Fork Patterson Cr and Adams Cr originate near the ridgelines.
