About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in Sanders County, where steep drainages and high-altitude basins define the local geography. The map captures the rugged interior of the range, centered around the prominence of Baldy Mtn and the tucked-away Baldy Lake. The settlement pattern is sparse, concentrated primarily near Blanchards Corner and the elevated site of Locust Hill, with small bodies of water like Banana Lake and Rainbow Lake providing critical landmarks in the wilderness.

A network of forestry and local access roads, including Clark Hinchwood Rd and Dupuis Mill Rd, reveals the infrastructure required for navigating this timbered terrain. The transition from the high ridges of Rainbow Lake Pass down to the creek beds of Cedar Cr and Hot Springs Cr illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, where numerous named gulches and mountain lanes provide access to remote forest sections.
