About this map

Stanley Lake and the northern reaches of the Sawtooth Range dominate this high-elevation landscape, where the borders of the Challis National Forest, Boise National Forest, and Sawtooth National Forest converge. The topography is defined by sharp vertical relief, reaching its height at Thompson Peak and Mt Regan, which tower over numerous glacial tarns including Sawtooth Lake and the Trailer Lakes.

Transport through this wilderness is restricted to trails and footpaths, most notably the Alpine Way, which skirts the eastern ridges near Goat Falls. Water drainage patterns are clearly delineated, with Stanley Lake Cr and Iron Creek - Stanley Lake feeding the lower basins. Notable landmarks for observers and hikers include the Elk Mountain Lookout (Snow) and the series of falls along the creeks, such as Lady Face Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. The map also documents the administrative boundary between Boise and Custer Counties as it traverses these summits.
