The Alta settlement and its nearby Alta Recreation Site serve as the primary human touchpoints in this 1991 survey of the Bitterroot National Forest. Located along the West Fork Bitterroot River, the area reflects a history of small-scale mineral extraction, evidenced by the Lucky Joe Mine and Copper Queen Mine. The topography is defined by the steep drainages of Hughes Creek, Chicken Creek, and Than Wilkerson Creek, which carve through the high country towards peaks like Thunder Mountain.
