2014 Map of Lupine Creek

About this map

Lolo National Forest encompasses the entirety of this landscape along the border of Missoula and Mineral counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, where Lupine Cr and Burdette Cr flow through deeply incised valleys toward the larger S Fork Fish Cr and W Fork Lolo Cr systems. This 2014 survey documents the complex topography of the Bitterroot Mountains, featuring landmarks like Howard Creek Meadows and Spring Gulch. Human presence is primarily indicated by a system of forest service and access roads, including Wagon Mountain Rd and Howard Creek Rd. The map illustrates the sophisticated watershed management and land division within the national forest, showing how small tributaries like Oriole Creek, Tepee Cr, and Sullivan Cr feed into the regional river network.
