2020 Map of Smiley Mountain

About this map

Smiley Mtn serves as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape where the Challis National Forest meets the Sawtooth National Forest. The map documents a complex network of alpine water bodies and drainage systems, including the headwaters of Smiley Cr and the Right Fork Iron Bog Cr. A series of interconnected basins contain notable features like Big Lake, Golden Lake, and Fishpole Lake, while deep geographic cuts such as Muldoon Canyon and Anderson Canyon define the area's sharp vertical relief. The presence of the Muldoon-Ironbog Trail and the Brockie Lake Trail suggests a long-standing system of back-country access through the passes near Pioneer Mtn, marking a terrain defined more by its natural water distribution and steep canyons than by any permanent human settlements.
