2020 Map of Bata Mountain

About this map

The Blackfoot River winds through the northwestern corner of this Missoula and Powell County borderland, defining a landscape of high timbered ridges and alluvial flats. Notable level ground is found at Blanchard Flats and Bear Creek Flat, while the higher elevations are marked by prominent peaks such as Bata Mtn and Lost Horse Mtn. The transport network relies on a system of forest roads, including Sperry Grade Rd and Cap Wallace Rd, which provide access to remote areas like Cap Wallace Gulch. To the southeast, the terrain opens into Chamberlain Meadows, a significant highland clearing. The map details the complex drainage system feeding the river, from W Fork Bear Cr to the headwaters of Little Fish Cr, illustrating the watershed's topographical importance in this part of Montana.
