1998 Map of Burnt Ridge

About this map

The Bitterroot National Forest dominates this Montana landscape, where the Bitterroot River and West Fork Bitterroot River converge. The settlement of Conner and the Trapper Creek Job Corps Center mark the primary areas of human activity along the river valleys, contrasted by the steep elevations of Burnt Ridge and Baker Point. This 1990s revision reveals a managed wilderness, balancing public land infrastructure like the Ranger District and an Electronic Site with the area's hydrology. Waterways such as Tin Cup Creek, Chaffin Creek, and Trapper Creek feed the main river system, while local industrial traces are found at a Gravel Pit near the East Fork Road. The inclusion of land features like Hart Bench and Grouse Butte highlights the transition from agricultural river bottoms to the timbered reaches of the Bitterroot range.
