2017 Map of Magruder Mountain

About this map

The Bitterroot National Forest dominates this landscape, characterized by the high ridgelines and deep drainages of the Bitterroot Mountains. Central to the map is Magruder Mtn, surrounded by significant peaks including Deadtop Mtn and Salamander Butte. The area is defined by its network of water and terrain, with the Selway River and Little Clearwater River carving through the northern sections, while Gold Pan Lake and Elk Track Lakes provide isolated alpine water features to the south. Historically, the most prominent human marker is the Nez Perce Trail Rd, which snakes across the terrain, crossing through various gaps like Magruder Saddle and Kim Creek Saddle. This corridor represents a long-established route through the high country, connecting the various forks of Magruder Cr and the many named gulches that feed into the larger river systems.
