About this map

Challis sits at the northern edge of this Idaho landscape, where the high desert terrain meets the carved path of the Salmon River. The geography is defined by the broad, flat expanses of Round Valley and the namesake Bradbury Flat, offering a clear view of the complex irrigation and access network developed in this corner of Custer County. These level areas are bounded by significant elevation changes, from the rising slopes of the Lost River Range in the northeast to the high plateau of Germer Park in the southwest.

Water sources are vital to the local character, with Warm Spring Creek and Lone Pine Creek drainage patterns etched across the map. The network of local roads, such as Corrigan Rd and Birch Creek Rd, alongside features like Bishop Spring and Bradbury Gulch, reveals how the land has been partitioned and utilized for ranching and access to the surrounding wilderness. This modern survey documents the contemporary boundaries of public and private land within the Township and Range system.
