2017 Map of Yellow Peak

About this map

The Lemhi Range dominates this high-altitude landscape in eastern Idaho, where the peaks and basins provide a dramatic backdrop for some of the region's most secluded water sources. High alpine basins like Devils Basin and deep recesses such as Devils Canyon define the drainage patterns for the Salmon National Forest and Challis National Forest. Notable summits including Yellow Peak, Gunsight Peak, and Junction Peak serve as primary landmarks for this wilderness area. The map documents a complex network of glacial lakes and headwaters, from Dairy Lake and Everson Lake in the north to the Big Timber Creek system in the south. The rugged topography is further illustrated by features like Devils Lake and the Park Fork-Lake Fork route, reflecting a landscape shaped by significant elevation changes and glacial activity.
