2020 Map of Mount Baldy

About this map

Kootenai National Forest dominates this section of the Purcell Mountains in northwestern Montana, defined by high summits and the winding corridor of the Yaak River. The landscape is a network of named peaks and ridges, including Mt Baldy, Thunder Mtn, and the distinctive Red Top Murphy Mountain. A series of Forest Development Roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 591 Rd, provides access through the drainage basins of Hellroaring Cr and N Fork Meadow Cr. Evidence of backcountry activity and lookouts appears with the label Redtop Cyclone near Red Top Mtn. The river valley itself is the primary low-lying landmark, flanked by Lucky Gulch and Lucky Point, with the Yaak River Rd following the water's edge south toward the Sylvanite area.
