About this map

Hunter Peak and Moe Peak dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Montana and Idaho. The map documents a portion of the Bitterroot Mountains where the Bitterroot National Forest meets the Nez Perce National Forest, illustrating the remote wilderness character of Ravalli Co and Idaho Co. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by Paradise Cr, Bear Cr, and Spruce Cr, which carve through prominent landforms like Elk Ridge and Long Ridge.

Several alpine water bodies, including Moe Lake, Bigfoot Lake, and Cub Lake, are scattered across the high basins. The boundary line between the two states is marked as it traverses through the summit at Rock Point. This modern survey provides an exact record of the hydrography and topography of this protected mountain region, emphasizing the natural connectivity of the forest systems across state lines.
