About this map

Lolo National Forest covers this high-altitude terrain in Mineral County, dominated by the peaks of Landowner Mtn and Sunrise Mtn. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and gulches, including Bear Gulch, Cayuse Gulch, and China Gulch, which feed into larger watercourses like Trout Creek. These deep incisions in the topography reflect a classic Western Montana mountain profile, where water management and timber access are historically paramount.

Remote access is traced via Verde Creek Rd and Trout Creek Rd, which provide the primary paths through the steep grades toward landmarks like Eagle Rock and Van Ness Point. This 2020 survey captures the area's hydrology in detail, from the high Windfall Lake to the various branches of Tin Cup Cr and Russian Bill Cr, illustrating how the watershed remains the fundamental organizing feature of this protected wilderness.
