2013 Map of Langer Peak

About this map

Challis National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Custer County, dominated by the prominent Langer Peak and the high pass at Vanity Summit. The drainage network is complex, with numerous creeks such as Winnemucca Cr, Knapp Cr, and Valley Cr carving through the terrain. Alpine water bodies are a primary feature here, including the remote Elk Lake, Vanity Lakes, and the uniquely named F Eighty-Two Lake. Access to these remote reaches is provided by a network of forest roads including Beaver Creek Rd, Knapp Creek Rd, and the Pinyon Peak Loop Rd, which trace the valleys and ridges. The map illustrates a strictly natural and protected environment, showing no permanent settlements, but documenting the essential hydrology and topography of this Idaho wilderness.
