About this map

Senate Mine sits near the northern boundary of this high-elevation terrain, positioned just beneath the slopes of Senate Mountain. This landscape is defined by its dense network of glacial lakes and drainages, where the East Fork Bitterroot River collects waters from Star Creek and the cascading Star Falls. The map reveals a complex alpine hydrologic system, from the secluded Hidden Lake and Ripple Lake to the higher elevations of the Anaconda Range.

Strategic passage through these peaks is marked by Bitterroot Pass, which provides a crossing between the drainage of Middle Fork Rock Creek and the southern basins. Features such as Elk Park and Park Lake suggest small clearings amidst the steep topography. The presence of several named peaks, including Pintler Peak and West Pintler Peak, underscores the area's significance as a hub for surveyors and high-altitude exploration in Ravalli County.
