About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Mineral and Missoula counties, where high ridges and deeply incised drainages form a complex hydrological network. The map reveals a wild, road-limited environment centered on the headwaters of Lupine Creek and Burdette Creek. Narrow corridors like S Fork Fish Creek Rd and Wagon Mountain Rd provide the primary access through these steep timberlands.

In the southern reaches, the terrain opens into distinctive features such as Howard Creek Meadows and the drainage of Spring Gulch. The presence of the 11N23W07ABD01 Spring and numerous named tributaries like Oriole Creek and Sullivan Creek illustrates the importance of water sources in this high-country terrain. This map serves as a primary reference for the intricate township and range divisions that define public land management in western Montana.
