About this map

Jerry Peak dominates the high-elevation landscape of Custer County within the Challis National Forest. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals a remote backcountry defined by a complex drainage network, including the North Fork Bradshaw Creek and Sawmill Sage Creek. The southern reach of the quadrangle descends toward the Big Lost River near Bartlett Point, where the only significant roadway, Bartlett Point Road, provides access to the valley floor.

Evidence of human activity is limited to essential resource infrastructure and primitive transit, such as the Jeep Trail and Walker Way. Scattered water sources like Pecks Canyon Spring, Dean Spring, and Howell Spring are critical landmarks for navigation and land use in this arid environment. The presence of a Borrow Pit near the river suggests localized material extraction for road maintenance in an otherwise undeveloped mountain wilderness.
