2014 Map of Medicine Hot Springs

About this map

Medicine Hot Springs is the focal point of this mountainous landscape within the Bitterroot National Forest. Located along Us HWY 93 and the East Fork Bitterroot River, this area transitions from the riverside valley to the high ridges of the Bitterroot Mountains. The drainage network is dense with named tributaries such as Warm Springs Cr, Laird Cr, and Maynard Cr, which have carved deep draws and gulches across the terrain. Notable high points like Shook Mtn, Medicine Point, and Coyote Peak define the horizon, while smaller landmarks like Jim Hell Rock and Bear Creek Saddle provide specific navigational points for those traveling through the forest. The map reflects a landscape primarily defined by its hydrology and natural landforms, with human impact concentrated along the highway corridor and at the historic hot springs site.
