Custer County Idaho a Land of Prospects and Growth

Custer County Idaho offers vast inducements with rich mining districts and planned growth. Challis, Mackay, Stanley Basin, Loon Creek and Yankee Fork feature copper, lead, silver and gold mines, quartz mills, and smelters. The region spans about 5000 square miles, larger than Connecticut, with transportation needs and capital investment seen as keys to unlocking its mining and agricultural potential.
