About this map

Potaman Peak stands as a central high point in this Custer County landscape, situated within the protected boundaries of the Challis National Forest. The map documents a rugged drainage network defined by the Salmon River and the East Fork Salmon River. These waterways are fed by numerous high-altitude tributaries including Big Lake Creek, Sullivan Creek, and Bluett Creek. A striking geographical feature is Railroad Ridge, which overlooks the descent toward Dry Gulch in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Recreational and access infrastructure is concentrated along specific corridors, most notably the Jimmy Smith Trail and Jimmy Smith Creek Trail, which lead toward the isolated Jimmy Smith Lake. Further north, Sullivan Lake sits near the headwaters of the Sullivan - Corral Creek. The terrain is marked by deep incisions such as Calkins Gulch and Spring Gulch, illustrating the complex erosional patterns of this portion of Idaho.
