2013 Map of Sheldon Peak

About this map

The Challis National Forest dominates this high-elevation Idaho landscape, where the headwaters of numerous mountain streams converge. The Warm Spring Ranger Cabin sits near the confluence of Warm Spring Cr and Eagle Cr, serving as a rare point of human infrastructure in this wilderness area. The terrain is defined by dramatic ridgelines and peaks, most notably Sheldon Peak and Fly Creek Point, which divide the various drainage basins. Hydrological features are plentiful, with Shower Bath Springs feeding into Parker Cr in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map also delineates the high-altitude boundary between Lemhi and Custer counties, showing how the jurisdictional line follows the natural crests of the Salmon River Mountains. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by its water network, including the S Fork Camas Cr and Little White Goat Cr.
