About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in western Montana, where the terrain transitions from the high peaks of Belmont Point and Game Ridge down into fertile drainages. This recent survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a network of vital waterways, including Placid Creek and Boles Creek, which feed into the prominent Placid Lake in the northeastern corner. The map illustrates a complex of forestry roads and recreational access points such as S Placid Lake Rd and Enchanted Forest Rd.

Tracing the drainage patterns of North Fork Blanchard Creek and Belmont Creek, the survey provides a clear view of the wilderness management area. Remote back-country access is well-documented through features like the Spook Lake Trl and Boles Creek Trl, which connect high-altitude water bodies like Spook Lake to the primary valley corridors. The inclusion of the Public Land Survey System grid, covering townships like t15n r16w, aids in pinpointing precise geographical locations within the forest.
