About this map

Challis National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Lemhi County, centered on the dramatic rise of Sleeping Deer Mtn. This terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages, including Woodtick Cr, Cache Cr, and Little Musgrove Cr, which carve through the steep topography. The map illustrates a high-elevation environment where alpine lakes like Grouse Lake, Woodtick Lake, and the W Fork Lakes sit nestled below peaks and passes.

Evidence of human presence is sparse in this wilderness, represented primarily by the Cache Creek Cabin and the route over Woodtick Summit. The naming of Horse Heaven Meadows and Martin Mtn reflects the regional history of grazing and early exploration in the Salmon River Mountains. The lack of developed roads or major settlements highlights the area's character as a protected natural corridor, where water sources like Pole Lake and Liberty Lakes remain the primary landmarks for navigation.
