About this map

Mount Jerusalem stands as a central landmark within this high-elevation landscape straddling the Idaho Montana state line. Revised by the Forest Service in the late 1990s, the map documents a terrain defined by the complex borders of the Bitterroot National Forest and the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness. The hydrology of the area is particularly detailed, featuring numerous high-altitude basins such as Canyon Lake, Lake Crystal, and Jerusalem Lake, which feed a network of drainages including Watchtower Creek and Boulder Creek.

A notable characteristic of this sheet is the inclusion of numerous Protracted Blocks, such as PB 42 and PB 43, indicating unsurveyed land of uncertain acreage. This reliance on protracted sections rather than a standard grid reflects the challenging nature of the Bitterroot Range. Researchers can trace the path of the Idaho Co Ravalli Co line across peaks like Bare Peak and through the headwaters of the Little West Fork.
