About this map

Bald Top Mountain anchors this high-elevation landscape in Ravalli County, where the Bitterroot National Forest terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainages and small-scale resource extraction. The map documents industrial activity at the Crystal Mountain Mine and the SW SE Section 15 Mine, reflecting the region's enduring mining heritage. These sites sit amidst a complex hydrology where Sleeping Child Creek and Two Bear Creek carve through the mountainside.

Evidence of seasonal habitation and backcountry recreation appears at White Stallion Camp and the colorfully named Bad News Camp. The landscape transitions from steep summits like Crystal Mountain to high-altitude openings such as Gods Little Acre Meadows and Barnett Meadows. This survey serves as a detailed record of forest access and drainage patterns, documenting the specialized nomenclature of the Montana high country.
