About this map

Elk Mtn anchors this mountainous landscape where the borders of Missoula, Ravalli, and Granite counties converge. The terrain is defined by a series of significant high-altitude passes and ridgelines, including Eightmile Saddle, Yukon Saddle, and Holloman Saddle. These features facilitate movement through the dense timberlands of the Lolo National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest.

A network of forest roads, such as Schwartz Creek Rd and Eight Mile Creek Rd, traces the complex drainage systems of Swartz Cr and Eightmile Cr. The presence of Two Y Junction suggests a key navigational point for those traversing the Bitterroot Divide. This map provides a detailed view of the remote backcountry before the more intensive digital mapping of the mid-2010s, capturing the specific geography of high-country springs like Last Drink Springs.
