About this map

Bitterroot National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where sharp topographic relief defines the Bitterroot Range. The terrain is marked by prominent summits such as Brandy Peak, Koch Mtn, and the distinctive The Lonesome Bachelor, culminating in the jagged heights of the Como Peaks along the southern boundary. This area is a critical watershed, with glacial carving evident in the formation of alpine water bodies like Little Rock Cr Lake and the significant basin of Lake Como.

Transport through these steep drainages is limited to narrow corridors like Lost Horse Rd and Lake Como Rd, alongside seasonal routes such as Snow Trail 429. Numerous drainages, including Rock Creek, Tin Cup Cr, and Shannon Gulch, flow eastward toward the valley floor. The map also delineates several land tracts identified as PB 37 through PB 42, indicating specific land parcels or patented boundaries within the forest system.
