2024 Map of Lolo Hot Springs

About this map

Lolo Hot Springs serves as a focal point in this high-elevation landscape where the Bitterroot Mountains straddle the divide between Lolo National Forest and Clearwater National Forest. The geography is defined by the historic passage through Lolo Pass and the drainage patterns of Lolo Creek and its many tributaries, including Crooked Fork and West Fork Lolo Creek. A dense network of forest service routes like Nat For Dev Rd 5950 and historic pathways such as the Lee Creek Interpretive Trl suggest a long history of both resource management and recreational travel. The map captures the meeting of three counties—Missoula, Mineral, and Clearwater—across the state line of Montana and Idaho. Notable terrain features such as the broad Packer Meadows and the steep slopes of Wagon Mountain illustrate the transition from valley floor to alpine crest.
