About this map

The Little Lost River Valley forms the central corridor of this interior Idaho landscape, flanked by the rising slopes of the Lemhi Range. Much of the eastern terrain falls within the Challis National Forest, where the topography shifts from the flat valley floor to steep drainages like Bunting Canyon. The area is characterized by several distinct alluvial bars, including Badger Creek Bar, Deer Creek Bar, and Sunny Bar, which suggest historic terrace formations above the modern riverbed.

Transport through this part of Butte County relies on rural corridors like Badger Creek Rd and River Rd, providing access to the Little Lost River Access Area. Water sources are vital in this high-desert environment, with numerous perennial and seasonal flows such as Big Spring Cr, Fowler Springs, and Coyote Spring feeding into the Little Lost River. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the ranching and forest-service roads that define contemporary land use in this remote valley.
