2024 Map of Mountain House

About this map

The Sapphire Mountains define the eastern rise of this landscape, where the Bitterroot National Forest covers much of the high ground and drainages. This modern survey illustrates a rugged mountain-front interface, with numerous draws and gulches like Newton Gulch and Quarry Gulch feeding into the valley floor. The geography is marked by historic water sources such as Mountain House Spring and the eponymous Mtn House landmark, alongside the prominent Tammany Hill. While much of the terrain remains managed forest, the western edge shows more contemporary road development and the presence of the Flying K Field airstrip. Clear creek systems, including Skalkaho Creek and Sleeping Child Creek, cut through the forest sections, indicating the critical role of these waterways in the Ravalli County watershed. The map provides a precise view of the complex land management boundaries between private holdings and federal forest lands during the early 21st century.
