About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this section of the Idaho interior, defined by high-altitude drainage systems and the prominent summit of Jerry Peak. The landscape is a network of deep canyons and seasonal water sources, including Sawmill Canyon and Pecks Canyon, which funnel runoff into the larger basin below. Water remains the primary driver of the local geography, with isolated points like Howell Spring and Dean Spring providing rare reliable sources in this high-elevation terrain.

Evidence of human movement through this backcountry is most visible along the southern edge, where Trail Creek Rd follows the natural corridor carved by Pinto Cr toward the Big Lost River. This 2017 survey details a landscape primarily used for resource management and recreation, where named features like Swensen Basin and Twin Bridges Cr serve as vital navigation points for those traversing the forest boundaries.
