About this map

The Montana-Idaho state line bisects this high-elevation mountain terrain, marking the boundary between the Bitterroot National Forest to the north and the Salmon National Forest to the south. This divide also serves as the border between Ravalli County and Lemhi County, following the crest of the Divide NRT. Waterways flow in divergent directions from this spine, with Overwhich Creek and Warm Springs Creek draining northward, while the West Fork North Fork Salmon River and Hughes Creek descend toward the Idaho side.

Alpine features include several small mountain lakes such as Capri Lake, Pass Lake, and Frog Pond Lake. Prominent overlooks like Falls Point and Hughes Point offer vantage points over the drainage basins. The area is accessed primarily via the Hughes Creek Road, which follows the creek through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map also identifies Overwhich Falls, a notable geographic landmark situated near the center of the survey area.
