About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this section of Custer County, Idaho, where a distinct sequence of numbered drainages defines the high mountain landscape. This 2013 survey reveals a systematic naming convention for the tributaries of the Yankee Fork, with Fivemile Cr, Sixmile Cr, Sevenmile Cr, Eightmile Cr, Ninemile Cr, Tenmile Cr, and Elevenmile Cr all clearly delineated. These labels suggest a historic travel route where the distance was marked by each successive water crossing along the canyon floor.

Transportation is primarily confined to the Yankee Fork Rd, which provides access to the Eightmile Campground. Outside of this corridor, the map shows a largely undeveloped wilderness characterized by steep elevation changes and intricate creek systems like McKay Cr and Thompson Cr. The map preserves the township and range boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, such as t13n r16e, overlaying the complex topography of the Salmon River Mountains.
