2024 Map of Bassoo Peak

About this map

Lolo National Forest encompasses the dramatic terrain of the Cabinet Mountains in this modern survey of the Montana high country. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Snowstorm Mtn, Thompson Peak, and the namesake Bassoo Peak. A sophisticated network of trails, such as the Reservation Divide Trl and Big Rock Creek Trl, suggests a wilderness managed for both conservation and recreation. The presence of the Wilder Creek Ditch in the lower elevations provides a subtle hint of historical water management and land use within the rugged drainages of Bear Creek and Chippy Creek. The map also documents the boundary between Flathead Co and Sanders Co, where steep ridgelines like Snowstorm Ridge separate major watersheds.
