1999 Map of Big Hole Peak

About this map

Clark Fork cuts through the southern portion of this landscape, creating a distinct valley corridor beneath the heights of Big Hole Peak. This 1999 revision of the Sanders County terrain highlights the complex drainage systems of the Lolo National Forest, where waterways like Weeksville Creek and Tepee Creek flow through deeply incised valleys toward the river. The map documents the geographical relationship between the high timberlands and the Thompson Falls Plains, offering a clear view of the Fifth Standard Parallel North as it bisects the forest. Localized features such as the Gravel Pit and Swamp Lake provide specific points of reference for those studying the physical development and land use patterns within the Ranger District at the close of the twentieth century.
