About this map

Indian Postoffice serves as a prominent high-altitude landmark within the Clearwater National Forest, marking a notable ridge-line site along the historic Lolo Trl. The terrain is defined by a series of significant peaks and ridges, including Spring Mtn, Lunde Ridge, and Weasel Point, which separate the various drainage basins in this high country.

Water features are abundant throughout this part of the Bitterroot mountains, with the secluded Indian Postoffice Lake feeding into Postoffice Cr. The map shows how the divide between Clearwater and Idaho Counties follows these high ridges. Local transportation is limited to established routes like Doe Creek Rd, reflecting the remote character of this mountain environment where Cayuse Creek and its tributaries carve deep through the forested slopes.
