2013 Map of Herd Peak

About this map

Herd Peak stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation landscape in Custer County, situated within the expansive boundaries of the Challis National Forest and Sawtooth National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, where the N Fork Big Lost River and its various tributaries, such as Grasshopper Cr and Horse Cr, carve through the terrain. The presence of Jim Canyon and numerous creeks like Summit Cr and Twin Bridges Cr illustrates the complex drainage patterns typical of this mountainous region. This 2013 survey details the primary access routes through the wilderness, including road 128, which follows the river valleys. The map provides a clear look at the forest management boundaries and the natural landmarks that define this section of the Idaho backcountry.
