About this map

Bowery Peak and Sheep Mtn anchor this high-altitude landscape within the Salmon River Mountains, where three major public land designations converge. The boundaries of the Challis National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest intersect here, largely encompassed by the Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness. This 2024 survey captures an extensive network of pack trails and primitive routes that follow the natural drainages of the East Pass Creek and Herd Creek watersheds.

Local navigation relies on established paths such as the McDonald Taylor Trl and Pine-McDonald Trl, which connect the disparate creek basins. The map illustrates a complex drainage system including Sagebrush Creek, Fox Creek, and Taylor Creek, flowing through steep terrain marked by the prominent Middle Canyon. These hydrological features and named peaks provide essential points of reference for research into the backcountry history of Custer County.
