1991 Map of Dennis Mtn

About this map

Dennis Mtn and the surrounding high ridges of the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness dominate this high-altitude landscape in the early 1990s. This territory, situated within the Nezperce National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest, is defined by a dense network of watercourses and steep divides, including Sabe Creek, Harrington Ridge, and Bitterroot Ridge. The lack of modern roads emphasizes the area's protected status, with movement limited to a Pack Trail that connects remote points like Black Creek Saddle and Harrington Saddle. Local landmarks such as Cabin Spring and the Dennis Lakes suggest the essential role of water sources for those navigating these summits. To the south, the Salmon Wild and Scenic River forms a significant boundary, marking the transition from the high ridges like Smith Ridge to the deep river corridor.
