2011 Map of Potaman Peak

About this map

Potaman Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-altitude drainage basin within Custer County, Idaho. The landscape is defined by the complex network of waterways that feed into the Salmon River and the East Fork Salmon River, which cut through the northern and southern edges of the map respectively. Significant natural catchments like Sullivan Lake and Jimmy Smith Lake are central to the local geography, with the latter specifically designated as the Jimmy Smith Lake Public Fishing Area. This remote region is characterized by steep drainages including O'Calkens Gulch and Dry Gulch, which guide the flow of seasonal and perennial streams like Pistol Creek and Bluett Creek. The absence of major settlements highlights the area's role as a managed natural resource and recreation zone at the start of the 2010s.
