2017 Map of Howe Peak

About this map

Howe Peak stands as a prominent high point within the southern reach of the Lost River Range, overlooking a complex system of drainage basins in Butte County. Part of the Challis National Forest, the terrain is defined by steep, label-dense canyons including Wood Canyon, Sixmile Canyon, and Combe Canyon that cut through the high ridges. This 2017 survey reveals the transition from these mountain heights down to the broad, flat expanse of Deadman Flat. The presence of the Stage Rd crossing the southeastern section suggests historical transit routes through this portion of Idaho, connecting the mountain foothills with the more open desert landscape to the south. The mapping of the Right Fork Eightmile Canyon and Left Fork Eightmile Canyon provides specific detail for those tracing the precise watercourses and geological formations of the range.
