2020 Map of Trail Creek

About this map

Pioneer Mtn stands as a primary landmark along the intersection of Blaine, Custer, and Butte counties in this high-elevation Idaho landscape. The area is defined by the meeting of two significant public lands, the Sawtooth National Forest and Challis National Forest, where the topography is shaped by a series of deep drainages including Rough Canyon, Brassfield Canyon, and Fox Canyon. These canyons feed an intricate network of alpine waterways such as Friedman Cr, Argosy Cr, and Trail Cr. Human infrastructure in this 2020 record is sparse, centered primarily on the corridor of Fish Creek Rd and the navigational points of Fish Creek Summit and Fish Creek Summit-Spur 2. The map illustrates a remote backcountry environment where the primary activities are dictated by the steep gradients and the management boundaries of the National Forest system.
