About this map

Sleeping Deer Mtn dominates the high-elevation landscape of Challis National Forest, providing a detailed look at this wilderness area in the central Salmon River Mountains. The topography is defined by significant peaks such as Martin Mtn and Woodtick Summit, with the latter accessible via the Woodtick Cutoff. The drainage patterns are intricate, with headwaters for W Fk Camas Creek and Pole Cr carving through the steep terrain.

High-altitude alpine basins are scattered throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by the numerous clusters of small lakes including Liberty Lakes, Rock Lakes, and Cache Cr Lakes. The inclusion of Horse Heaven Meadows near the eastern boundary suggests a break in the heavy timber and steep slopes, typical of the high-country grazing lands found in this part of Idaho. This 2017 survey details a landscape where primitive travel routes and natural water sources remain the primary features of the land.
