About this map

Lolo National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest converge in this high-elevation Montana landscape, marked by a dense network of drainages and prominent summits. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks including Mormon Peak, Lolo Peak, and Sweeney Peak, which overlook a series of glacial lakes. Notable water bodies such as Carlton Lake, Little Carlton Lake, and the trio of N One Horse Lake, Reed Lake, and S One Horse Lake are clustered along the eastern slopes of the main ridgelines.

Infrastructure is concentrated in the northern section along the Us-12 corridor, where Mormon Creek Rd and Mill Creek Rd provide access into the deeper gulches. The survey captures the complex administrative boundary between Missoula Co and Ravalli Co, revealing how the physical geography of Lantern Ridge and the One Horse Cr drainage dictates political and forestry divisions in the Bitterroot Range.
