2020 Map of Henderson Ridge

About this map

Bitterroot National Forest and Salmon National Forest meet along the high, undulating border of Idaho and Montana. This 2020 survey documents the complex watershed where Hughes Creek and its many tributaries, such as Chrandall Creek and Spruce Creek, carve deep drainages through the steep landscape. The map provides a precise look at the forest service infrastructure, including Hughes Creek Rd and the Two Eagle Trl, which navigate the remote ridges. Notable landmarks like Irishmans Rock and the sharp profile of Butcher Knife Ridge stand out against the high-altitude terrain. Local hydrology is detailed through named features such as Muleshoe Springs and the interestingly named Bare And Tincan Springs, reflecting the era's continued reliance on identified water sources for navigation and management within these protected federal lands.
