About this map

Bitterroot National Forest dominates this landscape along the state line where Ravalli County meets Idaho. The area is defined by sharp topographic elevation changes, centered on the high point of Bare Cone. Historically significant mountain crossings are anchored by Nezperce Pass in the northwest, providing a passage through the steep terrain between the Idaho-Montana border.

Water systems create a complex drainage network, with Nez Perce Fork flowing across the northern sections near Fales Flat and Peyton Rock. In the south, the terrain rises toward Razorback Mtn and Coal Ridge, while numerous named streams such as Blue Joint Cr, Jack the Ripper Cr, and Little Blue Joint Cr carve through the deep valleys. The map shows the remote character of this region, where human infrastructure is limited to routes like FR 1303 amidst the high-altitude peaks of Castle Rock and the surrounding wilderness.
