About this map

The Pahsimeroi Valley dominates this 1980s landscape, serving as a broad corridor between rising mountain ranges in Custer County. The Pahsimeroi River meanders through the eastern portion of the valley, joined by tributaries like Goldburg Creek and Burnt Creek as they descend from the higher elevations. This area is defined by its transition from the valley floor to the wooded slopes of the Challis National Forest, which covers the southwestern corner of the quadrangle.

Evidence of local geography and land use is found in labels like Spring Hill and a designated Gravel Pit near the northern boundary. Transportation is limited to primitive 4wd tracks and unimproved roads, reflecting the remote character of this high-desert and mountainous terrain. The map provides clear detail of the drainages and ridges, including Doublespring Creek, that shape the water resources and access points within the Pahsimeroi drainage system.
