2013 Map of Casino Lakes

About this map

Challis National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest converge in this high-elevation Idaho landscape, defined by a network of drainage creeks and alpine water bodies. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and glacial basins, where Casino Lakes, Rough Lake, and Garland Lakes sit at the headwaters of numerous streams. In the north, the Salmon River cuts through the canyon, fed by tributaries including Big Casino Cr and Little Casino Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the complex topography between Lookout Mtn and the Sawtooth Valley, showing the distinct administrative boundaries and land divisions of the Public Land Survey System. High points like Prospect Point offer vantage over the surrounding wilderness, while the presence of Grover Gulch and Cleveland Cr highlights the intricate natural irrigation of the Custer County backcountry.
