About this map

Middle Fork Salmon River carves through the southern section of this territory, defining a corridor of high-altitude activity where the Valley Co Custer Co line meets the water. Remote outposts and infrastructure for forest management are concentrated along Indian Creek, including the Indian Creek Guard Station and the Indian Creek Landing Field. The map illustrates a landscape of high peaks and drainage basins, centered on the heights of Grays Peak and Pungo Mountain.

Transit through this portion of the Boise National Forest and Challis National Forest relies on a network of historical routes like the Indian Creek Trail and Short Trail. Human presence is sparse but distinct, marked by isolated points of interest such as the Hot Spring near the western edge and a Prospect site above the river. These labels indicate a mid-century period of land management before more modern developments altered the wilderness character of the Wild and Scenic River corridor.
