1988 Map of Berge Peak

About this map

The high mountain terrain of the Idaho-Montana border dominates this late 20th-century survey, specifically where Shoshone County meets Mineral County. The landscape is a complex network of high ridges and drainage basins, centered on the towering Berge Peak and the expansive Simmons Ridge. The map details the headwaters of numerous waterways, including Gold Creek and Simmons Creek, which carve deep valleys through the St. Joe and Lolo National Forests. High-altitude landmarks such as Flattop Mountain, Pegley Mountain, and Midget Peak serve as primary topographical markers for this remote wilderness area. A scattered network of a Pack Trail provides the only mapped overland access through these steep elevations, tracing routes past isolated water features like Moore Lake and Summit Springs. This provisional edition captures the pristine, undeveloped character of the Bitterroot Range before further modern infrastructure reached these high-elevation forest lands.
