2020 Map of Boulder Peak

About this map

The Bitterroot National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of western Montana, where the steep canyons of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness meet the valley floor. High summits like Boulder Peak and Trapper Peak define the horizon, while the drainage network of Boulder Creek and its many tributaries, including Slide Cr and Crow Cr, flow eastward toward the valley. The map reveals historical infrastructure related to forest management and local access, including the Boulder Point Lookout and the aptly named School Point. Along the lower elevations near the West Fork Bitterroot River, the presence of Rombo Cem and several primary access routes like Nez Perce Rd and W Fork Rd indicate the transition from wild mountain terrain to settled river corridors. Remote water bodies such as Nelson Lake, Lake Turbid, and Lake of the Rocks are tucked into the glaciated basins below the peaks.
