2020 Map of Howe Peak

About this map

Howe Peak rises as the central landmark of this mountain landscape within the Challis National Forest. Situated in the eastern reaches of the Lost River Range, the terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage systems including Wood Canyon, Sixmile Canyon, and Eightmile Canyon. The map reveals the dramatic transition from the high peaks down to Deadman Flat, reflecting the stark topography of Butte County. Human imprint is sparse, primarily concentrated along the lower elevations where Stage Rd traverses the sagebrush plains. This survey captures the remote character of the interior Idaho wilderness, where the naming of places like Deadman Canyon and Combe Canyon points to the early surveying and ranching history of the region.
