About this map

Warren Mountain and the high elevations of the Lost River Range dominate this portion of the Challis National Forest along the Custer and Butte County line. The landscape is defined by a series of high-altitude drainages and technical passes, most notably the Pass Creek Summit which serves as a critical navigation point between the Little Basin and the headwaters of Wet Cr. This survey captures the complex network of forest development roads and trails, including the Big Creek-Massacre route and the Bear-Wet Creek Trail, that provide access to these remote canyons.

The hydrology of the region is centered on seasonal flows like Massacre Cr, Chicken Cr, and the long reach of Pass Creek. Geologic and geographic features such as Larkspur Canyon and the Wet Creek Basin illustrate the transition from steep mountain slopes to broader drainage basins. These names, including the evocatively titled Long Lost-Wet Creek, speak to the legacy of early ranching and surveying in this central Idaho wilderness.
