About this map

The Lost River Range and Arco Hills define this high-altitude landscape of Butte County, Idaho. Much of the northern terrain is managed as part of the Challis National Forest, where steep drainages like Brier Canyon and Wood Canyon carve through the mountain slopes. This 2013 survey illustrates a dry, demanding environment where water is a vital resource, evidenced by scattered features like King Spring, Walker Spring, and the Combe Reservoir.

Logistics and travel through the region rely on historical routes such as Arco Pass Rd and Sheep Camp Rd, which navigate the gaps between ridges. Names on the land like Jack Wright Canyon, Braithwaite Canyon, and Deadman Flat hint at the area's ranching and pioneer history. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range system, showing the boundaries of t5n r27e and t4n r28e across the diverse topography.
