About this map

Mount Jerusalem and Bare Peak dominate this high-altitude landscape along the Idaho Montana state line. Located within the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, the area is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring a high density of alpine basins including Canyon Lake, Lake Crystal, and Watchtower Lake. These water bodies feed a network of drainages such as Boulder Creek and Soda Springs Creek that carve through the Bitterroot National Forest.

Transport through this backcountry is limited to a traditional Pack Trail system, which follows the ridges and creek bottoms, connecting remote features like Jerusalem Lake and Mudhole Lake. The survey reflects a preserved wilderness state, where the boundary between Idaho and Ravalli counties follows the natural divide of the mountains, and land use is restricted to the natural drainage patterns of the Little West Fork and North Fork.
