2024 Map of Sleeping Deer Mountain

About this map

Sleeping Deer Mtn anchors this high-elevation landscape within the Challis National Forest, where a network of primitive trails connects remote alpine basins and peaks. The drainage patterns are defined by numerous creeks such as Woodtick Creek and Cove Creek, which feed into isolated water bodies like Grouse Lake and the Cache Cr Lakes. The high-country terrain is marked by significant points including Martin Mtn and the broad Horse Heaven Meadows to the east. Historically significant for its lack of modern development, the area is navigated via routes like the Sleeping Deer Road (Winter Trail) and the Woodtick Ridge Trl. This survey captures the region's wilderness character, where names like Woodtick Summit and Macarte Ridge suggest a legacy of early forest service activity and traditional land use in the Idaho backcountry.
