2017 Map of Miller Peak

About this map

Miller Peak and the high ridges of the White Knob Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Challis National Forest. The map documents a rugged network of drainage systems and canyons, where Bear Creek and Antelope Creek carve through the terrain of Custer and Butte counties. This environment is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Bear Creek Summit down to the Antelope Valley. The settlement of Lost River is situated near the eastern edge, while forest access routes like the Copper Basin Road provide the primary infrastructure through these remote canyons. Notable water sources such as Big Spring and various gulches like Stoddard Gulch and Telephone Gulch highlight the importance of water management in this arid mountain range.
