2013 Map of Allan Mountain

About this map

Montana and Idaho meet along a ridgeline divide in this 2013 survey of the high country spanning Bitterroot National Forest and Salmon National Forest. The landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of Allan Mtn and Rocky Mtn, with the terrain falling away into steep drainages such as Klop Gulch and Johnson Gulch. Water is central to the area's geography, from the alpine Burrell Lake and Allan Lake to the vital sources of Bear Wallow Spring and Indian Spring. The placement of Salzer Bar along Salzer Cr and the network of forest roads, including Hughes Creek Rd, indicate a landscape managed for both timber and travel. This map captures the remote character of Ravalli County and Lemhi County, where features like Butcherknife Ridge and Ax Park name the distinct topography of the Bitterroot Range.
