About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which traces the rugged terrain of the St Regis River valley in western Montana. The settlement of Haugan serves as the primary landmark along the river corridor, situated near an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the historical transportation network of the Bitterroot region. The map reveals a legacy of resource extraction through several named sites, including the Saltese Consolidated Mine, a Mine Shaft on the western edge, and various gravel pits.

High-altitude landmarks such as Hawk Mountain, Meadow Mountain, and Storm Peak provide significant orientation points for those studying the area's topography. A complex network of drainages, including Packer Creek and Savanac Creek, feed into the river system. These natural features are complemented by historic routes like the Storm Peak Trail and various unnamed pack trails that navigate the steep divides between Mineral and Sanders counties.
