About this map

Jerry Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape within the southern reaches of the Challis National Forest. The drainage patterns here are complex, with headwaters including N-Fork Sage Cr, Twin Bridges Cr, and Garden Cr flowing through deep geographic depressions like Sawmill Canyon and Pecks Canyon. These watercourses eventually contribute to the Big Lost River seen in the southeast corner.

Evidence of human movement and land use is found in the network of remote tracks such as Walker Way and Howell Cyn Rd. The presence of several named water sources, including Howell Spring, Dean Spring, and Pecks Canyon Spring, indicates the vital importance of reliable water in this arid environment. The map also documents named geographic features like Swensen Basin, providing a detailed look at the named landmarks of Custer County as they were recorded in the early 21st century.
