1998 Map of Medicine Hot Springs

About this map

Medicine Hot Springs serves as a focal point in this mountainous section of Ravalli County, situated along the East Fork Bitterroot River. This 1998 revision of earlier surveys depicts the land management patterns within the Bitterroot National Forest, where steep drainage systems like Laird Creek and Warm Springs Creek flow toward the river valley. The landscape is characterized by its recreational and lookout infrastructure, with several established campsites including Warm Springs Campground, Spring Gulch Campground, and Crazy Creek Campground. High-elevation landmarks such as Shook Mountain and the Medicine Point Lookout define the western ridges, providing a clear view of the complex hydrology of the region, from the Porcupine Creek headwaters in the south to the northern gulches near Jim Hill Rock.
