2024 Map of Garden Point

About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this landscape, encompassing a complex network of ridgelines and drainages within the Bitterroot Mountains. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Garden Point and Wagon Mountain, with the Grave Creek Range rising to the east. Historically significant corridors such as the Lolo Trl and the North Fork Howard Creek Trl indicate longstanding routes through these mountain passes. Drainage patterns are intricate, with Lolo Creek and Howard Creek flowing through the southern portion of the quadrangle, while Petty Creek and its various branches, including the South Fork Petty Creek, carve through the northern sections. This 2024 map documents a modern view of land management and recreational access, showing several snowmobile and pack trails that facilitate movement through the high-country meadows and gulches like Cooley Gulch and Chief Joseph Gulch.
