2017 Map of Musselshell

About this map

Musselshell and the surrounding high country of the Clearwater National Forest define this landscape within the Bitterroot Mountains. The terrain is characterized by prominent high points such as Chamook Ridge and Eldorado Ridge, which separate numerous drainages including Musselshell Cr, Eldorado Cr, and Cedar Cr. A network of Forest Service roads, including Musselshell Rd and Lolo Creek Rd, provides access through the steep draws and timbered slopes. Notable landmarks like the Clark Tree and Chamook Saddle serve as navigation points in this remote portion of Idaho County. The map also records localized industrial activity at a Gravel Pit near Brady Cr, and marks the expansive wet opening of Musselshell Meadows, a significant natural feature in an otherwise densely ridged and creek-carved territory.
