About this map

Miller Peak and Reserve Mtn dominate this high-altitude landscape in the Challis National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of canyons and gulches, including the starkly named Death Canyon, Coyote Canyon, and Telephone Gulch. On the eastern edge of the survey, the White Knob Mountains overlook the valley floor where the small settlement of Lost River is situated.

Transport through this isolated terrain is limited to historic routes like the Copper Basin Road and Antelope Road, which navigate the elevation changes at Bear Creek Summit. The drainage patterns are clearly articulated through features like Big Spring and the Antelope Cr watershed, providing a detailed look at the water resources vital to this arid part of Custer County and Butte County. Local history is preserved in named landmarks such as Stoddard Gulch and Marcroft Canyon, marking the ranching and surveying history of the central Idaho interior.
