2020 Map of Corley Gulch

About this map

Sunset Bench dominates the northwestern corner of this mountain landscape, where a network of local roads such as Upper Burnt Fork School Rd and Sunset Ranch Ln suggests a legacy of high-altitude ranching and rural residence. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Willoughby Cr and the Burnt Fork Bitterroot River, which flow westward from the high peaks of the Bitterroot National Forest. To the east, the elevation rises sharply toward Many Horse Peak and Whe-lha-kleh-tseen Mtn, marking the transition into more primitive forest lands. The presence of Lolo National Forest in the northeast corner and the namesake Corley Gulch illustrate a rugged geography defined by its watercourses and protected timberlands, where modern naming conventions intersect with indigenous identifiers like Whe-lha-kleh-tseen Mtn.
