About this map

Challis National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of the central Idaho wilderness. The map is defined by its complex drainage systems, where the Salmon River flows across the northern edge, fed by an intricate network of waterways including Big Casino Cr and Little Casino Cr. The namesake Casino Lakes are positioned at the heart of this terrain, surrounded by other alpine features such as Rough Lake and the Garland Lakes.

High points like Lookout Mtn and Prospect Point offer vantage points over the deep drainages of Grover Gulch and Cleveland Cr. To the southwest, the terrain opens into the Sawtooth Valley, a significant topographical transition from the steep ridges and peaks that dominate the central part of the quadrangle. The map captures the specialized geography of the Sawtooth Range, documenting the numerous named creeks and summits that define this protected forest region.
