About this map

Meridian Peak stands as a central geographic anchor where the boundaries of the Sawtooth National Forest and Challis National Forest meet in this high-elevation region of Idaho. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and named summits, including the prominent Hunter Creek Summit to the west. This survey illustrates the intricate watershed of the N Fork Big Lost River, which is fed by numerous tributaries such as Bear Cr and Blind Cr.

Transport through this backcountry is primarily limited to the N Fork Big Lost River Rd, which follows the river's path through the central valley. The topography is marked by significant vertical relief, with deep corridors like Middle Canyon, Grave Canyon, and Squib Canyon cutting through the forest. This 2013 data provides a modern look at the administrative divide between Custer and Blaine counties, tracing the crests and valleys that dictate the political and natural boundaries of the area.
