2024 Map of Langer Peak

About this map

Langer Peak stands as a prominent high point in this high-elevation landscape of Custer County, situated within the expansive Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. The map reveals a complex network of alpine hydrology and primitive transportation routes, where Vanity Creek and Crystal Creek drain the slopes near Vanity Summit. This 2024 edition documents the modern boundary of the Challis National Forest, providing a detailed look at the seasonal access routes that define mountain navigation, such as the Loon Creek Road (Winter Trail) Trail. Small mountain lakes like Dutch Lake, Elk Lake, and the uniquely named F Eighty-Two Lake dot the basins between ridges. The drainage patterns of Knapp Creek and Beaver Creek are paralleled by historic corridors like Seafoam Road, illustrating the continued reliance on these established paths through the central Idaho backcountry.
