About this map

Little Lost River and its network of ephemeral and perennial drainages define this high-desert landscape in Butte County. The area is characterized by a series of named creek beds, including Uncle Ike Creek, North Creek, and South Creek, which descend from higher elevations toward the river valley. The corridor is oriented around the Little Lost Hwy, a vital transportation route following the river's path. Local landmarks like Mormon Gulch suggest a history of exploration and transit through the valley. Other geographic features include Warm Spring Creek and Camp Creek, indicating points where water sources intersect with backcountry roads like Uncle Ike Rd and North Creek Rd. This map reflects the remote character of the Idaho interior in the early 21st century, where the land is primarily organized by its watershed and a few established access roads.
