2024 Map of Medicine Hot Springs

About this map

Medicine Hot Springs serves as a central landmark in this mountain landscape, situated along the East Fork Bitterroot River where the valley floor meets the rising peaks. The topography is dominated by the Bitterroot Mountains to the west and the Sapphire Mountains to the northeast, encompassing a large portion of the Bitterroot National Forest. The map reveals a complex network of forest access routes and historical paths, including the Shook Mountain-Medicine Point Trl and the Warm Springs-Ridge Trl, which navigate the steep drainage systems of Laird Creek and Warm Springs Creek. Local family names or early settler influences are preserved in road and trail labels such as Bertie Lord Ln, Noisy Ln, and Lord Draw, providing a geographical record of land use and occupancy in this Ravalli County corridor.
