About this map

Salmon River carving through the Salmon River Valley anchors this mid-century topographic record of Custer County. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Challis National Forest, rising to prominent points like Lone Pine Peak and Germer Peak. Local ranching and high-desert life are reflected in the numerous springs and flats that dot the terrain, including Bradbury Flat and Antelope Flat.

Genealogists and local historians can locate remote outposts such as Jenson Cabin and geological curiosities like the Petrified Forest near Malm Gulch. The map meticulously details the drainage systems of the high country, from the headwaters of Gooseberry Creek to the narrow passage of Spar Canyon. Numerous Jeep Trails provide the primary access through this high-altitude environment, connecting isolated water sources like Bradbury Spring and Philips Spr across the rugged basin floors.
