About this map

Scapegoat Wilderness defines the heart of this high-country landscape, where the administrative boundaries of the Lolo National Forest and Helena National Forest meet. The terrain is marked by prominent summits such as Olson Peak and Galusha Peak, which overlook a complex network of drainages feeding the North Fork Blackfoot River and its tributaries like Theodore Creek and Cooney Creek.

Divided between the Seeley Lake Ranger District and the Lincoln Ranger District, the map illustrates a protected mountain environment largely devoid of permanent human settlement. Notable water features such as Twin Lakes and Meadow Lake are situated within the Powell and Lewis and Clark county line, which follows the drainage divides. The presence of the Fourth Standard Parallel North provides a key surveying reference for this high-altitude interior, preserved for its wild character and hydrological importance.
