About this map

The Sawtooth Valley floor meets the rising peaks of the high backcountry in this detailed survey of Custer County. Spanning the boundary between the Challis National Forest and the Sawtooth National Forest, the landscape is defined by an intricate network of alpine drainage systems, including Little Casino Cr, Big Casino Cr, and Cleveland Cr. The namesake Casino Lakes and nearby Rough Lake sit at the headwaters of these drainages, surrounded by prominent landmarks like Lookout Mtn and Prospect Point.

Access into this wilderness is traced by historical routes such as the Rough Creek Rd and the Martin-Big Casino trail, which navigate the steep transition from the Salmon River corridor into the high basins. The map captures the specialized geography of the region, from the Sunny Gulch floor to the high ridge along the Rough Creek Skyline, providing a clear record of the area's protected forest lands and natural water resources.
