2013 Map of Challis Creek Lakes

About this map

Challis National Forest land dominates this high-altitude terrain along the border of Lemhi and Custer counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous drainages, most notably the Yankee Fork and the S Fork Warm Spring Cr, which carve deep canyons between peaks like Parker Mtn. The presence of the Parker Mill site along Warm Spring Cr suggests the area's history of extraction and processing within these isolated mountain reaches. The complex network of creeks, including Trapper Cr and Wickiup Cr, highlights a topography shaped by seasonal runoff and historic trails through the central Idaho wilderness.
