2023 Map of Ramshorn Canyon

About this map

Big Lost River Valley forms the dramatic centerpiece of this modern topographic study, where the valley floor meets the steep western face of the Lost River Range. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated irrigation network, designed to manage the waters of the Big Lost River through a series of engineered channels including Burnett Ditch, Island Ditch, and East Side Ditch. This reliance on water management is a hallmark of the region's agricultural footprint. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward King Mtn and into the protected lands of the Challis National Forest. Notable for local history, the Pioneer Cem sits at the base of the mountains, a quiet marker of early settlement efforts along the canyon foothills. The map also traces the Rams Horn Canyon Trl as it winds through Ramshorn Canyon, providing a clear view of the transition from the river bottom to the high wilderness peaks.
