2017 Map of Bowery Peak

About this map

Bowery Peak and Sheep Mtn dominate this high-elevation interior of Custer County, where the boundaries of the Challis National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest meet. This terrain is defined by a complex drainage system, with McDonald Cr and Taylor Cr carving deep paths through the timbered slopes. The presence of the Sheep Bridge suggests established routes for moving livestock between seasonal grazing grounds in an area otherwise marked by remote gulches and canyons. Primitive corridors like the Pine-McDonald and Sage Brush tracks follow the natural contours of the land, providing access to the various forks of Herd Cr and East Pass Cr. This map captures the essential character of Idaho's protected wilderness, where the landscape remains largely defined by its original topographical features rather than human settlement.
