About this map

Medicine Hot Springs and the surrounding drainages of the Bitterroot National Forest define this high-elevation landscape in Ravalli County. The area is characterized by dramatic topographic features, including Medicine Point and its associated Medicine Point Lookout, which overlooks the complex network of creeks like Warm Springs Cr and Laird Cr. These waterways flow toward the East Fork Bitterroot River in the northeast, a corridor traced by Highway 93.

Landmarks such as Jim Hell Rock, Sula Peak, and Coyote Peak stand as distinct survey points across the ridges. The map details the transition from riparian zones to high flats like Sheeps Head Flat, revealing a landscape managed for both its natural resources and its thermal springs. Various forest roads, including Laird Creek Rd and the Sula Peak Rd 5727, provide the primary access through the steep terrain and mountain saddles.
