About this map

Bitterroot National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Ravalli County, dominated by the prominent peak of Bald Top Mountain. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of drainages including Sleeping-Child Creek and Two-Bear Creek, which carve through the heavily forested interior. Of particular interest to those studying local land use are the named clearings and high-country meadows like Two Bear Meadows and Barnett Meadows, which provide natural openings in the otherwise dense timber.

Evidence of historical access and range management is visible through the positioning of Gods Little Acre Meadows and the winding route of Skalkaho Rye Rd in the northeastern corner. Smaller features like Spring Gulch and Crystal Point offer specific landmarks for navigating this wilderness area. The presence of numerous land grant and boundary markers, such as PB 51 and PB 52, reflects the complex surveying history of these federal lands.
