1967 Map of Herd Lake

About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this high-altitude Custer County landscape, characterized by the convergence of the East Fork Herd Creek and West Fork Herd Creek. The topography is defined by significant drainage networks, where Herd Creek flows past the prominent Herd Lake and receives waters from Mosquito Creek and Lake Creek. The area’s rugged interior is marked by severe terrain features like Hell Canyon and the high Lake Basin, suggesting a wilderness accessible only by the Jeep Trail that snakes through the northern hills.
