2024 Map of Horse Creek Butte

About this map

Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness and Salmon National Forest converge in this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the drainage systems of Horse Creek and Cayuse Creek define the central topography. The terrain is marked by prominent crests such as Roan Ridge and Long Tom Ridge, while the eastern portion of the sheet is anchored by Horse Creek Butte. A network of backcountry access routes, including the Reynolds Creek Trl and Cayuse Creek Trl, connects isolated points of interest like Quicksand Bog and the high-altitude Corn Lake. This modern survey reflects the enduring character of a region where the primary development consists of Forest Service infrastructure, such as FR 065 and FR 166, intended to navigate the complex drainage patterns of Mustang Creek and Little Horse Creek.
