About this map

Challis National Forest and Salmon National Forest converge in this high-elevation corner of Idaho, where the county line between Lemhi and Custer weaves through the peaks. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Panther Creek and Morgan Creek, which are accessed by rugged routes like Panther Creek Rd and Morgan Creek Rd.

Remote outposts and family landmarks are sparse but significant, including the Oyler Ranch and several notable summits such as Black Mtn, Woods Peak, and Van Horn Peak. The topography is etched with numerous named gulches and creeks, such as Annie Rooney Cr and Sams Gulch, reflecting a history of local naming by early ranchers, miners, or foresters. This map documents the complex forest boundaries and drainage patterns before the most recent decade of forest management changes.
