About this map

Challis National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the dramatic White Cloud Peaks rise above a complex network of alpine drainages. The area is defined by sharp ridgelines like the Chinese Wall and The Gunsight, which separate glacial basins containing Crater Lake, Gunfight Lake, and Dike Lake. Evidence of early 20th-century industry and access remains via the Livingston Mill-Castle Divide route and the notably named Railroad Ridge, suggesting the reach of mining interests into these high summits.

Water plays a central role in the topography, from the northern boundary along the Salmon River to the thermal waters of Slate Creek Hot Spring. Diverse tributaries such as Big Boulder Cr, Silver Rule Cr, and Last Chance Cr feed into the larger system of Livingston Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the remote drainages within the t10n r16e and t11n r16e townships, documenting the specialized nomenclature of this interior Idaho terrain.
