About this map

Bitterroot National Forest dominates the southern and eastern landscape of this Ravalli County region, where the terrain is deeply incised by a network of gulches and draws. The eponymous Mountain House sits in the northeast corner near Mountain House Spring, overlooking Mountain House Draw. This area transition from the structured residential roads in the northwest, such as Golf Course Rd and Tammany Ln, to the steep, forested elevations of the sapphire-bearing mountains.

Watercourses like Skalkaho Cr and Sleeping Child Cr carve through the wilderness, accompanied by numerous named features such as Brookins Gulch, Newton Gulch, and Sawdust Gulch. These labels reflect the historic timber and mining activities that have long defined the Bitterroot Valley's eastern front. The map tracks the interface between private land developments and the vast public lands of the BNF, capturing the modern road network against the backdrop of traditional Montana backcountry.
