About this map

The W Fork Bitterroot River carves through this Bitterroot National Forest landscape, serving as a primary corridor for travel and recreation in the early 21st century. Civil infrastructure is concentrated near the river, notably at the West Fork Lodge and the adjacent West Fork Lodge Airport. This area is a critical point for local emergency services, anchored by the West Fork Vol Fire Dept and Quick Response Unit, which supports the surrounding mountain community and seasonal visitors.

Deep in the drainage basins, a network of Forest Service roads such as Piquett Creek Rd provides access to remote landmarks like Buck Creek Saddle and the prominent Rocky Knob. The map documents a classic Montana backcountry arrangement of public lands, where campsites like Billings Memorial Campground and Boulder Creek Campground sit near the confluence of numerous named tributaries, including Beavertail Creek and Rombo Creek.
