2017 Map of Big Hole Pass

About this map

Big Hole Pass sits as a critical high-altitude point along the state line shared by Beaverhead County, Montana, and Lemhi County, Idaho. This rugged segment of the Continental Divide is defined by its deep forest geography, split between the Beaverhead National Forest and the Salmon National Forest. The landscape is dominated by steep-sided drainages such as Dahlonega Creek and Nez Perce Cr, which flow away from the primary ridges like Nez Perce Ridge. Access through this remote terrain is marked by the Continental Divide NST and the historic Gibbonsville Rd, indicating a long-standing passage through the mountains. Noteworthy landmarks for navigation and local history include Morgan Jones Lake and the prominent peaks of Bitterroot Mtn and Eagle Mtn.
