2014 Map of Bassoo Peak

About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain along the border of Flathead and Sanders counties. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Tepee Mtn, Snowstorm Mtn, and the namesake Bassoo Peak. These peaks are separated by steep drainages where several major watercourses originate, such as Big Rock Cr, Bassoo Cr, and Chippy Cr. The map reveals a high-country infrastructure primarily supporting forestry and resource management, evidenced by the Mill Creek Truck Trl and the Boyton Brower Creek Extension Rd. In the southern reaches, the presence of the Alder Cr Ditch and the secluded Mill Pocket suggest specific water management and localized terrain features utilized in the modern era. To the west, the topography drops toward Bear Cr, while Thompson Peak and Little Thompson Peak anchor the southwestern corner of this montane environment.
