About this map

Bell Mountain and the high ridges of the Lemhi Range dominate this Idaho landscape, where the Targhee National Forest and Challis National Forest meet. The settlement of Clyde sits at the base of these mountains, positioned near the Little Lost River and the mouth of Williams Cr. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages and canyons, such as Basinger Canyon and Cedar Run Canyon, which provide natural corridors through the steep elevation changes.

Accessibility in this high-country environment is limited to specialized routes like the Foss Mountain Trail and Cedar Run Trail, reflecting a landscape primarily used for recreation and forestry rather than dense development. Notable landmarks include the prominent Foss Mtn and the isolated Birch Basin, while scattered water sources like Willow Springs and Blind Springs are vital features in this arid, high-altitude region of Butte County.
