About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this section of Butte County, where the southern reaches of the Lost River Range descend into the high desert flats. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of drainage systems, including Brier Canyon, Walker Canyon, and the deeply etched Jack Wright Canyon. Water sources appear as isolated but vital points in this arid landscape, noted by King Spring, Walker Spring, and the Combe Reservoir.

Logistical access to the Arco Hills is primarily defined by the Arco Pass Rd and its subsidiary, Arco Pass Spur #1. The map reveals a transition from the mountainous north toward the open expanse of Deadman Flat in the southeast. This survey provides an essential view of the cattle-and-public-land management infrastructure, naming numerous family-titled landmarks like Braithwaite Canyon and Sutton Canyon that reflect the area's local ranching and transit history.
