2020 Map of McGee Peak

About this map

Lolo National Forest and St. Joe National Forest meet along the high ridges of the Bitterroot Range in this 2020 terrain study. This high-elevation landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where the headwaters of Big Creek and its various forks carve through the granite of Shoshone County. Names such as Glitter, Coronary, and Aorta mark specific points of interest, likely reflecting the area's prospecting and mining heritage. The map details a network of forest roads, including Big Creek Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 391, which provide access to high-mountain basins containing Heart Lake, Crystal Lake, and Gold Lake. Topographic prominence is found at McGee Peak and Ward Peak, which anchor the divide between the Montana and Idaho state line.
