2017 Map of Sheldon Peak

About this map

Sheldon Peak dominates this high-elevation portion of the Challis National Forest at the border of Lemhi and Custer counties. The drainage network is particularly dense, defined by steep canyon waterways like S Fork Camas Cr, Fly Creek, and Mahoney Cr. The presence of Sleeping Deer Road (Winter Trail) and the Flume-S Fk Camas suggest a landscape shaped by seasonal access and historical water management. Geologists and local historians can trace the intricate topography around Fly Creek Point and the geothermal activity indicated by Shower Bath Springs near the southern edge of the quadrangle. This area of central Idaho remains a complex wilderness of named ridges and creek systems, including Snowshoe Cr and Warm Spring Cr, illustrating the hydrographic character of the region.
