About this map

The Star Hope Mine serves as a focal point for this rugged high-altitude landscape where the Sawtooth National Forest and Challis National Forest meet. The boundary between Blaine and Custer Counties cuts diagonally across the terrain, crossing through Star Hope Gulch and Glide Mtn. This area is defined by its dramatic verticality, characterized by numerous drainages such as Rawson Cr and Little Copper Cr that carve through the Pioneer Mountains.

Modern access is provided via the Copper Basin Loop Rd, which winds through the northern portion of the map near Muldoon Canyon. Historical landmarks like Mormon Hill and the remote Mandolin Spring indicate the long-standing human presence in this mining and ranching corridor. Peaks like Swede Peak and Scorpion Mtn stand as prominent navigation points within this densely forested and canyon-scored wilderness.
