About this map

Kent Peak and Fox Peak stand as prominent landmarks within the high-elevation terrain of the Sapphire Mountains, where the boundary between Bitterroot National Forest and Deerlodge National Forest follows the jagged ridgelines. This alpine landscape is defined by a series of glacial cirques and high-altitude basins that hold a chain of named water bodies, including Charity Lake, Faith Lake, and Hope Lake in the southeast.

A network of remote trails, such as the Bitterroot-Rock Creek Divide Trl and the Skalkaho-Sleeping Child Divide Trl, provides the primary means of navigating these peaks and the numerous meadows that break the forest cover. Named clearings like Moose Meadows, Barnett Meadows, and Mosquito Meadows suggest a history of seasonal use and wildlife habitat. The map details the headwaters of several drainage systems, with Skalkaho Creek and the Ross Fork flowing from these high divides into the surrounding valleys.
