About this map

The high mountain settlement of Custer serves as the focal point for this terrain within the Challis National Forest. Situated along the Yankee Fork, the landscape is defined by steep drainages and prominent peaks, including Bald Mountain and Mt Greylock. Historical mining activity is implied by the nomenclature of surrounding ravines such as Swift Gulch, Puzzler Gulch, and Slaughterhouse Gulch.

Access through this high-altitude environment is marked by specialized seasonal routes like the Loon Creek Road (Winter Trail) and the Custer Trail, which cross over Loon Creek Summit. The map provides a detailed view of the headwaters for several major creek systems, including Eightmile Creek and Tenmile Creek, while features like Rookie Point stand as distinct landmarks for navigators of the Idaho backcountry.
