About this map

Challis National Forest and Boise National Forest meet in this high-elevation wilderness, where the boundary between Valley, Boise, and Custer counties converges. The landscape is defined by its extensive drainage systems and prominent summits, most notably Bull Trout Point and Cape Horn Summit. Water is a central feature of the terrain, with Bull Trout Lake and Martin Lake situated in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. These lakes feed into an intricate network of streams including Warm Spring Creek and South Fork Cat Creek.

Transport through this backcountry relies on a complex system of established trails rather than developed roads, reflecting the area's protected and primitive character. Significant routes like the Stanley-Landmark Trail Rd #1 Trl and Kirkham Ridge Trl traverse the ridges and valleys, providing the primary means of access through Mains Ridge and the surrounding peaks. The map preserves the names of numerous smaller waterways such as Pass Creek and the curiously labeled No Name Creek.
