About this map

Lolo National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain in Mineral County, dominated by the peaks of Landowner Mountain and Sunrise Mountain. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages that feed into larger water bodies such as Trout Creek and Prospect Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Bitterroot Range. Evidence of historical activity is seen in the presence of a Mine located on the eastern slopes of Sunrise Mountain, a common feature in this mineral-rich region of western Montana.

Notable landmarks like Eagle Rock and Van Ness Point offer navigational reference points amidst the numerous gulches, including China Gulch and Hungary Gulch. To the south, Windfall Lake serves as a significant high-mountain water source. The map's detailed topography, revised by the Forest Service, tracks the intricate paths of Cement Creek, Tin Cup Creek, and Russian Bill Creek, providing a record of the natural corridor as it appeared at the close of the 20th century.
