1989 Map of Yellow Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Blue Jay Mine and the Ray Lode Mine sit high in the Lemhi Range, marking a landscape defined by 20th-century resource extraction within the Salmon and Challis National Forests. This high-altitude drainage network feeds the complex systems of Big Timber Creek and Eightmile Creek, while secluded alpine basins harbor Devils Lake, Everson Lake, and Dairy Lake. The map reveals the boundary between the Salmon National Forest and Challis National Forest, highlighting the steep topographic transition from Gunsight Peak down to the creek-carved ravines of Devils Canyon. This record captures the area at a time when traditional pack trails and mine roads provided the primary access to the peaks, preserving the spatial relationship between isolated mineral claims and the massive watershed that defines this portion of Lemhi County.
