About this map

Black Peak and the high ridges of the Bitterroot Mountains define this intersection of Shoshone County and the Montana border. The landscape is a complex network of high-altitude drainage systems, where White Pine Cr and Big Beaver Cr carve through deep terrain shared by the Kaniksu National Forest, Coeur d'Alene National Forest, and Lolo National Forest. The state line itself is traced along the rugged heights of Dixie Ridge and peaks like Sex Peak.

Administrative boundaries and forestry infrastructure are prominent, with numerous Forest Service routes such as Natl Forest Develop Road 222 RD providing access to these heights. Remote water features like Beaver Lake and various named gulches, including Dry Gulch and Butte Gulch, illustrate the watershed's role in the regional geography. This survey documents the modern intersection of state management and wilderness conservation in the Northern Rockies.
