About this map

The Salmon River carves through the southern portion of this landscape, serving as a primary corridor for travel and settlement in Custer County. Near the river's edge, the small settlement of Torreys sits at the junction of several important mountain routes, including Robinson Bar Rd and Slate Creek Rd. This area is defined by the significant elevation changes of the Challis National Forest, where a network of trails like the Fivemile Creek Trl and Peach-Cinnabar Trl provides access to the high backcountry.

Water management and drainage are central to the terrain, with Thompson Creek and its many tributaries, such as Pat Hughes Creek and Buckskin Creek, forming a complex system of gulches and ridges. The presence of Thompson Creek Rd winding through the center of the map highlights the historical and modern importance of this drainage for local access and resource management within the forest boundaries.
