About this map

Sheldon Peak and the high ridges of Custer County define this hydrologically complex landscape, where a dense network of mountain streams drains the interior toward the Salmon River watershed. The drainage pattern is anchored by the South Fork Camas Creek in the north and Mahoney Creek in the south, illustrating the sharp topography and natural corridors of the Salmon River Mountains.

Evidence of wilderness management is found at the Warm Spring Ranger Cabin near the junction of Warm Spring Creek and Worm Spring Creek. This outpost, along with landmarks like Fly Creek Point, provides a geographic reference for the region’s long history of forest service and recreational use. The terrain is marked by seasonal and permanent waterways including Parker Creek, Spider Creek, and Snowshoe Creek, which have guided movement through these summits for generations.
