2017 Map of Bayhorse

About this map

Bayhorse is the central point of interest on this 2017 survey, situated at the junction of Bayhorse Cr and Beardsley Gulch. This high-altitude landscape in the Challis National Forest is defined by its mining heritage, as evidenced by names like Keystone Mtn, Ramshorn Mtn, and the Pacific Mines Trail. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous gulches such as Merrimac Gulch and Bull of the Woods Gulch, while the Salmon River cuts through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. Transportation into the interior is marked by the Keystone-Ramshorn route and Buster Lake Road, providing access to high points like Blue Mtn. The presence of Daugherty Spring and Juliette Basin highlights the complex hydrology and varied topography that have shaped the land-use patterns in this part of Custer County.
