About this map

The Lemhi Range dominates this portion of Butte County, where the high-altitude divide separates the Targhee National Forest to the north and east from the Challis National Forest to the west. This territory is defined by its deep drainages and prominent summits, notably Tyler Peak and Saddle Mtn. The landscape is etched with steep ravines such as Tyler Canyon, Black Canyon, and Middle Canyon, which serve as natural conduits through the difficult terrain.

A sparse network of backcountry routes, including the N Creek Trail, Middle Canyon Trail, and E Canyon Trail, provides the only access into these protected forest lands. The presence of Kyle Spring near Middle Fork Kyle Canyon highlights the critical, limited water sources that sustain the area. The map also delineates the boundary between Clark and Butte counties as it traverses the high ridges, illustrating the role of topography in establishing political borders in the Idaho wilderness.
