About this map

The mountain settlement of Adair sits at the high-elevation convergence of the Lolo National Forest and St. Joe National Forest along the Idaho-Montana border. This 2017 survey shows the repurposed corridor of the Hiawatha Rail Trail as it winds through the Bitterroot Mountains, tracing a path through the steep drainages of Loop Creek and Manhattan Creek. The terrain is defined by a succession of high summits, including Dominion Peak, Grays Peak, and Crittenden Peak, which mark the divide between Shoshone County and Mineral County.

Water features such as Silver Lake and the headwaters of Eagle Creek illustrate the hydrologic network of this high-country region. The map highlights the extensive Forest Service road system, including Nat For Dev Rd 391, which provides access to remote points like Bernier Point and Malin Point. This record is particularly valuable for its detail of the transition from industrial rail use to recreational trails within a managed forest landscape.
