About this map

Lolo National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Missoula County, dominated by the prominent summit of Gold Creek Peak and the nearby Black Mtn. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages and alpine basins, including Boles Meadow and Elk Meadow, which feed the headwaters of several critical streams. To the northwest, the secluded Hidden Lake sits below steep ridgelines, while Boles Creek and Finley Creek carve deep valleys through the timbered slopes.

A primitive transportation network is visible throughout the area, primarily consisting of forest service routes and hiking trails. Routes such as Finley Creek Rd and Belmont Creek Rd provide access to the interior, while long-distance paths like the Spook Lake Trl and Wolverine Trl connect high-country points including Boles Point. The map provides a detailed look at the township and range divisions within this protected wilderness area as they exist in the early 21st century.
