2020 Map of Lolo Hot Springs

About this map

Lolo Hot Springs sits at the northern end of this Bitterroot Range survey, where geothermal waters meet the drainage of Lolo Creek. This area is a critical historical corridor, tracing the high mountain divide between Montana and Idaho. The landscape is defined by its transition from the Lolo National Forest into the Clearwater National Forest at the state line. Topographical landmarks like Wagon Mountain and Rocky Peak overlook a network of forest service roads and trails, including Elk Meadows Road and the Sally Ridge Trail. At the southern edge of the sheet, Lolo Pass serves as the primary mountain crossing, leading travelers into the expansive Packer Meadows along the Idaho border. The map also records numerous seasonal drainages such as Lee Creek and Granite Creek, which carve deep through the steep high-altitude terrain.
