About this map

The Bitterroot Range forms a prominent natural divide along the Idaho-Montana border, defining the high-altitude landscape of the northern Rockies. This 2017 survey details a wilderness area managed between the Lolo National Forest and the Clearwater National Forest. The map reveals a complex network of ridgelines and water sources, including the namesake Bruin Hill and adjacent Bruin Ridge, which overlook the headwaters of Bruin Cr.

High-altitude landmarks like Chilcoot Pass and Wapito Point provide essential orientation points for understanding the topographical layout of the region. The map also identifies several alpine water bodies, most notably Fish Lake, Straight Lake, and the Siamese Lakes. These features, along with the numerous named drainages such as Little Moose Cr and Wapito Cr, illustrate the intricate hydrology of the Clearwater and Mineral County borderlands.
