2024 Map of Badger Creek

About this map

The Little Lost River Valley forms the central character of this Butte County landscape, where the high slopes of the Lemhi Range descend into a wide corridor of high-altitude ranching and drainage. A distinct pattern of alluvial bars, including Badger Creek Bar, Deer Creek Bar, and Sunny Bar, marks the transition from the steep canyon mouths of the Challis National Forest to the valley floor. For local history and genealogy, Clyde Cem stands as a focal point in the northern section near Williams Creek. The map documents a complex water network essential to the region, featuring Big Spring Creek, Fowler Springs, and the seasonal flow of Boulder Creek. Transportation is anchored by the Little Lost River Hwy, which parallels the river and connects the scattered settlements and grazing lands of this corner of Idaho.
