About this map

Allan Mountain and Rocky Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape along the Montana-Idaho border, where the drainage systems of the Bitterroot and Salmon River watersheds begin. The map reveals a complex network of forest access centered on Hughes Creek Rd and Selzer Creek Rd, serving as the primary arteries for this timbered and topographical region. Significant water sources and landmarks include the aptly named Butcherknife Ridge and the distinctively titled Ax Park.

Hydrological features are abundant throughout the quadrangle, from larger bodies like Allan Lake and Burrell Lake to numerous named springs such as Bear Wallow Spring, Indian Spring, and Tincup Spring. The map documents several named gulches and bars, including Klop Gulch, Gallagher Gulch, and Salzer Bar, which indicate a history of localized land use and exploration in these high basins. The winding paths of Hughes Creek and the North Fork Hughes Creek dictate the primary travel corridors through this remote mountain terrain.
