2011 Map of Pinyon Peak

About this map

Pinyon Peak stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation terrain in Custer County, Idaho. The landscape is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages, including the headwaters of Loon Creek and Little Loon Creek. Significant water features such as Pinyon Lake, Kidney Lake, and Blue Lake are dispersed across the ridges, providing critical points of reference in this roadless area. Evidence of the region’s mineral history is marked by the Lost Packer Mine located near Canyon Creek in the northeast. The map also detail topographic highlights like Feltham Creek Point and the deep incision of Packer Gulch, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Salmon River mountains watershed. The absence of modern infrastructure emphasizes the preserved wilderness character of the Challis National Forest lands.
