About this map

Herd Peak stands as a prominent landmark in this high-elevation landscape of Custer County, Idaho, where a complex network of alpine drainages defines the geography. The drainage systems of West Fork Herd Creek and East Fork Herd Creek converge to the north, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the North Fork Big Lost River. This 2011 survey captures a wilderness-dominated area where human presence is primarily marked by primitive infrastructure and forest roads.

The confluence of Summit Creek and Bartlett Creek with the Big Lost River highlights a significant riparian corridor used for access through the canyon systems. Notable features like Jim Canyon and the winding Trail Creek Rd provide the primary navigational framework for this backcountry terrain. The map illustrates the natural hydrology of the region, from the seasonal flows of Mud Creek to the distinct paths of Twin Bridges Creek and Zipper Creek.
