2014 Map of Bloom Peak

About this map

The Montana-Idaho state line forms the primary topographical spine of this 2014 survey, tracing the high ridges between Kanisku National Forest and Coeur d'Alene National Forest. This remote montane region is defined by a series of significant summits, including McNeeley Peak, Eightyseven Mile Peak, and the namesake Bloom Peak. The map illustrates a complex drainage system where steep gulches such as Jackson Gulch and Sorrel Gulch feed into numerous creeks, notably S Fork Marten Cr and W Fork Trout Cr. A singular high-altitude water feature, Ninetythree Mile Lake, sits just below the ridge line near the Sanders-Shoshone county boundary. The sparse road network, consisting largely of routes like NF RD 430, highlights the area's use for forest management and backcountry access along the Bitterroot Range.
