About this map

Robinson Bar sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation wilderness where the Salmon River cuts through the canyon. The landscape is dominated by the steep ascent toward Robinson Bar Peak and the formidable White Cloud Peaks to the south. This 1960s survey captures a network of alpine drainage systems, including Warm Springs Creek and Slate Creek, which feed into the river valley.

Deep within the Challis National Forest, evidence of early exploration and resource interest is found at the Prospect site and across various creek beds. High basins hold isolated water bodies like Elk Lake, Hoodoo Lake, and Swimm Lake. The presence of The Meadows along Warm Springs Creek indicates one of the few relatively level openings in this otherwise vertical terrain, serving as a critical waypoint for those navigating the backcountry of Custer County.
