About this map

Como Lake and its surrounding drainage basin define this high-elevation landscape within the Bitterroot National Forest. The map documents a complex network of hydrologic features and high-altitude terrain, from the Spillway Elevation 4245 to the soaring Como Peaks and Koch Mountain. The transition between managed forest land and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness is marked by an indefinite boundary, reflecting the late 20th-century management of these protected lands.

Outdoor recreation and conservation efforts are evident in the inclusion of the Como Lake Loop National Recreation Trail and the Lost Horse Observation Point 8026. Numerous drainages, including Lost Horse Creek, Rock Creek, and Tin Cup Creek, carve through the granite peaks, while Little Rock Creek Lake sits tucked away in the western wilderness area. This 1999 update provides a clear view of the trails and peaks that have long drawn visitors to the Bitterroot Range.
