About this map

Pats Creek and its many tributaries, including Eddy Creek and Darling Creek, carve through this central Idaho landscape. The settlement of Transfer Camp sits in the northwest, serving as a rare point of human habitation in a region dominated by drainage networks and gulches. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, where named features like Big Hill Gulch and John Gulch descend toward larger water bodies such as Challis Creek.

Transport through this backcountry is restricted to specific corridors, most notably Challis Creek RD and Mill Creek RD. To the west, Slab Barn Lake provides a notable landmark near Jeffs Flat RD, which leads toward the high-elevation clearing of Jeffs Flats. This 2011 survey records a geography of water management and forest access, where the names of creeks—from First Spring Creek to Bear Creek—trace the historical pathways of early settlers and rangers.
