2011 Map of Como Peaks

About this map

Brandy Peak and the high summits of the Bitterroot Range dominate this 2011 survey of western Montana. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of Rock Creek and Lost Horse Creek, which flow eastward toward the Bitterroot Valley. Civil engineering in this high-altitude terrain is focused on the recreational and observational access points, notably around Lake Como and the Lost Horse Observation Point. The drainage network is dense, with smaller tributaries like Bunkhouse Creek and Lick Creek feeding into the larger water bodies. High peaks such as Koch Mountain and the uniquely named The Lonesome Bachelor highlight the dramatic relief of the Bitterroot National Forest area. Road access is limited to primary corridors like Lost Horse Rd and Lake Como Rd, which serve as the gateways for back-country exploration and forest management.
