2020 Map of Yellowjacket
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
The Yellowjacket Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Salmon National Forest and Challis National Forest. The geography is defined by a complex network of drainage basins, including the Middle Fork River and various watercourses like Forge Creek, Anvil Creek, and Hammer Creek. Access into this backcountry is marked by the Yellowjacket Rd and the Mine Spur Yellowjacket, pointing to the area's history of mineral extraction. Higher elevations feature remote landmarks such as Hoodoo Meadows and the Hoodoo Creek Trail. The presence of Hot Springs near Forge Creek indicates the geothermal activity inherent to this part of Lemhi County, while the names of Van Horn Gulch and Slaughterhouse Gulch reflect the early ranching and mining heritage of the territory.
