About this map

Bitterroot National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of the Bitterroot Range, defined by the prominent Como Peaks and Koch Mtn. The hydrology of the area is centered around the expansive Lake Como in the east, which is fed and drained by a network of steep drainages including Rock Creek and Lick Creek. Further south, the more secluded Little Rock Lake sits tucked beneath the mountain ridges.

Accessibility to these peaks and canyons is marked by specialized forest routes such as Lost Horse Rd and the Lost Horse Observation Pt Rd in the north, providing access to Brandy Peak. The presence of numerous land parcels, identified as PB units, indicates the complex intersection of public forest management and historical property divisions within this mountain terrain. The lower elevations near Shannon Gulch show where the wilderness transitions toward the valley floor.
