2017 Map of Bayhorse Lake

About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this Custer County interior, where a series of high-altitude basins and alpine water bodies define the drainage patterns of the Salmon River mountains. The map centers on the relationship between Buster Lake and the Bayhorse Lake complex, including Little Bayhorse Lake to the east. These high lakes are accessible via primitive routes such as Buster Lake Road and the Trealor Creek Spur 1, tracing the paths of early twentieth-century forest management and back-country recreation.
