About this map

Clyde serves as the primary reference point in this high-elevation Idaho landscape, situated along the Little Lost River near the border of Challis National Forest and Targhee National Forest. The topography is dominated by the steep slopes of the Lemhi Range, with prominent peaks like Bell Mtn and Foss Mtn defining the skyline. The area's drainages, including Deep Cr, Cedar Run Cr, and Williams Cr, carve deep paths through the terrain, leading toward the river valley below.

Transportation through this high country relies on specialized routes such as the Foss Mountain Trail and Birch Basin Trail, which provide access to isolated areas like Birch Basin and Cedar Run Canyon. Water sources such as Willow Springs, Mud Spring, and Blind Springs suggest the historical importance of these points for both cattle ranching and early travelers through the mountain passes of Butte and Lemhi counties.
