About this map

Bitterroot National Forest and Salmon National Forest meet along the high-elevation divide separating Ravalli County, Montana, from Lemhi County, Idaho. This remote mountain wilderness is defined by its complex hydrology, where drainages like Warm Springs Creek and Shields Creek carve through the high terrain. The map details notable water features including Overwhich Falls, Capri Lake, and the remote Frog Pond Lake.

Evidence of human access and navigation across this high-country terrain is documented through the Hughes Creek Rd and the Divide Nrt trail system. The topography is anchored by prominent landmarks such as Falls Point, Hughes Point, and the long Twin Creek Ridge, which together illustrate the difficult navigation required in this part of the Northern Rockies. The confluence of several significant streams, including the W Fork N Fork Salmon River, underscores the area's importance to regional water systems.
