About this map

Lolo National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape south of Missoula, where the boundary between Missoula and Ravalli Counties cuts through steep drainages. The area is defined by its deep creek valleys and prominent peaks, including Baldy Mountain and the namesake Davis Point. Resource extraction is evident throughout the terrain, with several prospects and the Whaley Mine situated near the headwaters of Woodchuck Creek.

An interesting historical marker on this map is the Bitterroot National Forest Mine Shaft located near Granite Creek, indicating past underground operations in what is now protected federal land. Water sources like Cloud Basin Spring and numerous drainages such as Miller Creek and Eightmile Creek dictate the local topography, while the Missoula-Stevensville route provides a primary point of access through the mountain passes.
