2020 Map of Phi Kappa Mountain

About this map

The Pioneer Mountains define the high-altitude topography of this region where Challis National Forest meets the Sawtooth National Forest. The landscape is dominated by notable summits such as Phi Kappa Mtn, Handwerk Peak, and the distinctively named The Devils Bedstead. This 2020 survey illustrates the complex watershed formed by the high peaks, with numerous alpine waters including Kane Lake, Boulder Lake, and Washington Lake feeding into drainages like Boulder Creek and Phi Kappa Cr. Access to this high-country terrain is primary documented along Trail Creek Rd and Phi Kappa Creek Rd, which follow the natural valleys below Duncan Ridge. The map captures the meeting of Custer and Blaine counties at Kane Summit, providing a detailed view of the ridgelines and gulches that have long shaped the geography of central Idaho.
