1963 Map of Bayhorse Lake

About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this Idaho-Custer County landscape as it was documented in the mid-20th century. The high-elevation terrain is defined by a network of drainages including Mill Creek, Bayhorse Creek, and Rough Creek, which carve through steep ridges like Buffalo Ridge. Evidence of early human presence is scattered throughout the wilderness, marked by the Tollgate Ruins and Bruno Cabin Ruins, suggesting a history of passage and early settlement long before these areas were primarily managed for recreation.
