About this map

Monida sits as a critical mountain pass settlement along the high border between Montana and Idaho. This 2024 map documents the rugged crossing at Monida Pass, where Interstate 15 and Old Hwy 91 follow the historical corridor over the Continental Divide. The surrounding landscape is defined by the high-elevation Centennial Valley to the north and the crest of the Western Centennial Mountains to the south.

Hydrological and conservation features dominate the periphery, from the Lima Reservoir in the north to the protected lands of the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge and Targhee National Forest. Local ranching and backcountry access are marked by named routes like Grover Ranch Rd and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl, which winds through the high ridges. Named drainage systems like Beaver Creek and Modoc Creek illustrate the watershed's complexity at the apex of the divide.
