About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, recorded here just before the mid-1960s. The drainage system of the Yankee Fork creates a distinct pattern of numbered tributaries, including Tenmile Creek, Elevenmile Creek, Ninemile Creek, and Eightmile Creek. This nomenclature reflects the historical progression of travel along the main river corridor, where distance was marked by the sequential arrival of these stream mouths.

Evidence of high-altitude navigation is visible via a Jeep Trail that traverses the northern ridges near the headwaters of McKay Creek. Notable landmarks such as Cinnabar Mtn and the remote Milk Lake provide specific points of interest for those studying the terrain as it was field checked in 1963. The presence of a Campground near the confluence of Sevenmile Creek suggests the area's mid-century role in recreation within the central Idaho mountains.
