2013 Map of East Basin Creek

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through the southern portion of the Challis National Forest in this 2013 survey of Custer County. This landscape is defined by the confluence of major tributaries and the recreational access provided by the modern corridor of State Hwy 75. Significant landmarks include the dramatic curve at Mormon Bend, where several public sites like Mormon Bend Campground and Riverside Campground are situated along the riverbanks. High-elevation water features such as E Basin Lake and the drainage of W Fork Yankee Fork illustrate the complex watershed of the region. The map also details a network of forest access routes including Basin Creek Rd and E Basin Creek Rd, which connect the remote drainages of Basin Cr and Deadwood Cr to the primary valley thoroughfares.
