About this map

The Pahsimeroi Valley serves as a prominent ranching corridor in this high-altitude section of central Idaho, where the Pahsimeroi River flows northward toward the county line between Lemhi Co and Custer Co. The landscape transition is sharp, moving from the level valley floor and its private holdings, including the Flying Joseph Ranch Airport, into the protected slopes of the Challis National Forest.

Topographical interest is concentrated in the southwest, anchored by the peak of Mahogany Hill and the starkly named Dead Cat terrain feature. A network of Forest Service and local access roads, such as Custer Rd and Pahsimeroi Valley Rd, navigates the complex drainage systems of Goldburg Creek and Doublespring Creek. This 2017 survey details the contemporary management of the land, showing the interface of public forest boundaries and agricultural use in a region defined by steep canyons like Mulkey Gulch.
