2013 Map of Trail Creek

About this map

Pioneer Mtn stands at the triple point of Blaine, Custer, and Butte counties, anchoring a high-altitude landscape where the Sawtooth National Forest meets the Challis National Forest. This 2013 survey documents a wilderness of deep drainages and named canyons, such as Rough Canyon and Brassfield Canyon, which funnel water into a complex network of streams. The topography is defined by the steep descent of Friedman Cr and Argosy Cr in the west, while the eastern reaches are characterized by the winding path of Trail Cr. Only a single named thoroughfare, Fish Creek Rd, provides access into the southeastern corner of the quadrangle near Pole Canyon. The map reveals the intricate surveying of township and range lines across this mountainous terrain, illustrating the historical administrative boundaries that have managed these public forest lands for generations.
