About this map

Sleeping Deer Mountain anchors this high-elevation Idaho landscape, rising as a prominent summit within the Challis National Forest. The 1963 survey documents a remote wilderness defined by an intricate network of alpine drainages and glacial cirques. A Sleeping Deer Lookout stands atop the peak, overlooking a series of concentrated lake basins including the Cache Creek Lakes, Liberty Lakes, and West Fork Lakes.

Transport through this backcountry is indicated by primitive trails and unimproved dirt roads that navigate significant geographical barriers like Woodtick Summit and Martin Mtn. Numerous watercourses such as Little Woodtick Creek, Pole Creek, and Big Aparejo Creek carve through the terrain, suggesting a landscape shaped by seasonal snowmelt and serves as a vital watershed for the Salmon River region.
