2017 Map of Blizzard Mountain North

About this map

The Pioneer Mountains define this high-elevation landscape on the border of Butte and Blaine counties within the Challis National Forest. Dominating the southern terrain is Blizzard Mtn, overlooking the nearby Blizzard Basin. The map shows a network of remote forest access points, including Fish Creek Rd and Sawmill Canyon Rd, which lead into a complex system of drainage and relief. Notable landmarks such as The Needles and Cave Rock provide distinct navigational points for those traversing the canyons. Water sources are scarce but critical, marked by features like Big Buck Spring and the headwaters of Iron Mine Cr. The absence of developed townsites highlights the wilderness character of this region during the 2017 survey period, where topography and resource management routes like Fish Creek Summit Spur 1 dictate the human footprint.
