About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this section of Custer County, where high mountain peaks and a complex drainage system define the geography. The landscape is marked by prominent landmarks such as Rye Grass Pinnacle and Red Butte, which overlook the high-elevation terrain of Eddy Basin. Access to this back-country region is facilitated by routes like Morgan Creek Rd and Lick Creek Rd, which follow the natural valleys carved by Morgan Creek and its many tributaries.

Recreational points such as Blowfly Campground and Little West Fork Campground provide modern gateways to the wilderness, while named drainages like Millick Gulch and Blowfly Creek illustrate the intricate watershed. The map records the network of forest roads, including W Ford Rd and Darling Creek Rd, that weave between the steep slopes and seasonal springs like Fourth Spring Creek and Second Spring Creek.
