About this map

Challis National Forest encompasses the high ridgelines and deep drainages of this 2017 survey, where the border between Lemhi and Custer counties follows the natural topography. High points like Falconberry Peak and Loon Creek Point define a landscape dominated by steep vertical relief and a dense network of watercourses. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Loon Creek and its many tributaries, including Cold Spring Creek and Cougar Creek, carving through the wilderness.

Evidence of the region's remote character is seen in the naming of isolated summits like Grouse Creek Peak and the various forks and creeks such as Castle Fork and Indian Creek. This map is a primary reference for those studying the hydrography and high-altitude terrain of central Idaho, capturing the specific Forest Service road network and the relationship between major peaks and the creeks that feed the Salmon River watershed.
