About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Custer and Butte counties, centered on the heights of Miller Peak. The area is defined by a complex network of canyons and gulches, including Death Canyon and Mahogany Gulch, which drain the massive White Knob Mountains in the northeast toward Antelope Creek. Historically, this terrain supported isolated forest service activities and early exploration, evidenced by the Antelope FS Station and a lone Prospect near Iron Bog Creek.

The survey illustrates the 1990s-era boundary between Custer and Butte counties as it crosses the rugged drainages of Stoddard Gulch and Leadbelt Creek. Access is limited to a handful of 4WD tracks and unimproved roads, such as those crossing at Bear Creek Summit. This map provides a meticulous record of the water sources and topographical features that dictated the movement of forest rangers and prospectors through the high interior of Idaho.
