About this map

The high-altitude drainage of the Lost River Range defines this portion of the Challis National Forest, where the border of Custer and Butte counties follows the winding ridgelines. Central to the area's movement is Pass Creek Summit, a key natural passage reached via Pass Creek Rd. The landscape is a network of steep canyons and basins, including the notable Larkspur Canyon and Black Tail Canyon. Hydrological patterns are dominated by numerous seasonal and perennial flows such as Warren Creek and Wagon Box Creek, which feed into the broader drainage systems of the region.

Outdoor transit is marked by the Bear-Wet Creek Trail, which provides access to the primitive interior near Warren Mountain. In the southeastern corner, the terrain softens into the Little Basin and the Wet Creek Basin, terminating near the unique hydrology of Blacktail/Mud Lake. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between high mountain topography and the watershed that supports the surrounding valley ecosystems.
