About this map

Henderson Ridge and the Bitterroot National Forest define this high-altitude landscape along the Montana-Idaho border. This survey documents a critical junction of national forest lands, where the Bitterroot meets the Salmon National Forest. The geography is deeply carved by drainage systems like Hughes Cr and McConn Cr, which dictate the placement of mountain infrastructure.

Access through the backcountry is primarily limited to rugged paths such as Two Eagle Trl and the Mine Creek Rd. Named landmarks such as Irishmans Rock and Butcherknife Ridge serve as vital navigational markers in a region dominated by steep gulches, including Mud Spring Gulch and Robb Gulch. The presence of Henderson Cabin and springs like Tincan Spring suggest the long-standing use of this area by foresters, ranchers, or early backcountry travelers.
