About this map

Horse Creek Hot Springs serves as a notable landmark in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Ravalli and Lemhi Counties. The area is defined by the convergence of major protected lands, including the Bitterroot National Forest, Salmon National Forest, and the northern reaches of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. The topography is marked by steep peaks and high passes that dictate the movement of both water and travelers between Montana and Idaho.

Waterways like Reynolds Creek and Woods Creek carve through the terrain, originating near prominent summits such as Razorback Mountain and Deer Creek Point. Important travel corridors are traced through Horse Creek Pass and Woods Creek Pass, while distinctive geological formations like Cathedral Rock punctuate the ridges. The network of trails and primitive roads indicates a landscape managed for wilderness preservation and backcountry access during the late 20th century.
