About this map

Challis National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in central Idaho, where drainage networks like Blowfly Creek and Morgan Creek carve through the mountains. Surveyed in the late 1980s, the map reveals a remote terrain primarily accessible via a network of Pack Trails and primitive 4wd routes, rather than established roads. Distinctive topographic landmarks such as Rye Grass Pinnacle, Red Butte, and Wards Butte serve as prominent natural beacons for navigation within the forest.

Local drainage patterns are detailed through numerous named tributaries, including Lick Creek, Bear Creek, and the West Fork Morgan Creek. To the southwest, the Eddy Basin and its associated Eddy Basin Creek suggest a localized catchment area surrounded by steep ridgelines. The transition between Lemhi and Custer counties is marked along the western boundary, cutting across high ridges that overlook Millick Gulch and Darling Creek.
