About this map

Bitterroot River waters dominate the eastern edge of this landscape, where the Bitterroot National Forest meets the managed wilderness. The high peaks of the Bitterroot Range, including Boulder Peak and Boulder Point, define the western horizon, giving way to a dense network of drainages such as Nelson Creek and Trapper Creek. This 1991 inspection provides a detailed look at the infrastructure supporting the backcountry, from the West Fork Ranger Sta to the Lookout Tower overlooking the canyons.

Cultural landmarks like the Krueger Ranch and Rombo Cem offer glimpses into the early settlement and land use of Ravalli County. The map meticulously traces historic routes, including the Nez Perce Indian Trail and the Selway Bitterroot Trail, reflecting the enduring paths used for movement through this complex terrain before the establishment of modern recreation sites like Rombo Creek Campground.
