About this map

Shelly Mountain rises as a central landmark in this high-elevation corner of Custer County, where the southern reaches of the White Knob Mountains meet a network of steep canyons and alpine drainages. The landscape is defined by its industrial and natural geography, notably the Champion Mine located near Chimney Gulch and Cliff Creek. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, with Alder Creek and Lupine Creek carving paths through the terrain toward Mud Lake.

Transport through this isolated region is limited to foundational routes like Alder Creek Rd and Cliff Creek Rd, which provide access to family-named landmarks and historical sites of interest. From Sawmill Canyon to the heights of Lupine Mountain and Lime Mountain, the map documents a territory where 21st-century geographic data preserves the footprints of early 20th-century resource extraction and mountain travel.
