1989 Map of Cleveland Mountain

About this map

Cleveland Mountain rises as the central landmark of this high-elevation Montana landscape, marking the rugged boundary between Bitterroot National Forest and Lolo National Forest. The map documents a heavily forested wilderness at the edge of the Bitterroot Divide, where the county line separates Ravalli and Granite counties. Mining history is evident at the Cleveland Mine situated just north of the peak, while modern land usage is reflected in the extensive Welcome Creek Wilderness and the State Wildlife Management Area in the northwest. Drainages like Welcome Creek, Ambrose Creek, and Rock Creek carve deep through the terrain, punctuated by named crossings and high points such as Cinnamon Bear Saddle and Cinnabar Point.
