2020 Map of Cleveland Mountain

About this map

The Sapphire Mountains define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Bitterroot National Forest and Lolo National Forest. Dominated by the soaring peak of Cleveland Mountain, the area is divided by the Bitterroot-Rock Creek Divide, which separates the drainages of Threemile Cr and Rock Creek. This topographic survey details a network of high-country passes and ridges, including the Welcome Sawmill Saddle and Cinnabar Saddle, that historically provided passage through the dense forest. Many of these natural corridors are named for local landmarks like Cinnamon Bear Point and Threemile Point. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Ravalli Co and Granite Co, marking a significant geographic transition where Ambrose Cr and Cinnamon Bear Cr descend into their respective valleys.
