About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Custer County, where the southern reaches of the Pahsimeroi Mountains meet the northern edge of the Lost River Range. This area is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, centered on the summit of Meadow Peak. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Sulphur Cr and Meadow Creek, creating a network of ridges and isolated basins like Wino Basin and Sheep Pen Basin.

Surface water is sparse at these elevations, making the named water sources particularly significant for navigation and land use. Small alpine bodies such as Quake Lake and Grouse Cr Lake sit tucked away in the higher peaks, while reliable water points like Horse Spring and Rattlesnake Spring provide vital landmarks across the dry, steep slopes. Infrastructure is minimal, limited to the Nat For Dev Rd 112 and few primitive passages through landmarks like Devil Canyon.
