2013 Map of Rock Creek

About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in central Idaho, where the boundary between Lemhi and Custer counties follows the winding course of Warm Spring Cr. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages, including the prominent Rock Creek and Loon Cr. Human presence in this wilderness is focused primarily on seasonal recreation and historical forest management, evidenced by the Rock Creek Campground and South Fork Campground. The inclusion of Owen Cabin provides a specific point of interest for those tracing the history of mountain habitation and early forest service infrastructure in this region. This survey illustrates the intricate topography of the Salmon River Mountains, where dozens of named tributaries like Peanut Cr and Eagle Cr carve through the steep ridges.
