2011 Map of Leatherman Peak

About this map

Leatherman Peak and Donaldson Peak define the high-altitude topography of this 2011 survey, marking some of the most significant elevations in Custer County. The map documents the drainage patterns of the Lost River Range, where the West Fork Pahsimeroi River and East Fork Pahsimeroi River begin their northern descent. This hydrological network is further characterized by numerous seasonal and perennial streams, including Lone Cedar Creek, Jones Creek, and Pete Creek, which flow through the steep canyons between the major summits. Leatherman Pass provides a key transition point in the high country, sitting between the prominent peaks. The map also records the winding paths of Dry Creek and West Fork Burnt Creek, offering a detailed perspective of the watershed prior to any modern shifts in seasonal flow or forest management access roads.
