About this map

The high backcountry of the Challis National Forest dominates this 1980s topographic record, defined by the drainage systems of Camas Creek and its many tributaries. Much of the terrain falls within the protected Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, where elevations culminate at White Goat Mountain. The map reveals a landscape of high-altitude basins and aquatic features including White Goat Lake, Eddy Lake, and the West Fork Lakes.

Boundary lines between Lemhi and Custer counties trace the ridgelines, marking a remote area largely inaccessible by primary roads. Evidence of the high mountain environment is found in places like Camas Meadows and along the steep-walled canyons of White Goat Creek and Spider Creek. For those researching the central Idaho wilderness before more modern revisions, this survey provides the precise locations of named drainages like J Fell Creek and Eddy Creek.
