About this map

The Bitterroot National Forest dominates this section of the Bitterroot Mountains, where steep drainage systems feed the West Fork Bitterroot River. A complex network of Forest Service infrastructure, including the West Fork Lodge Airport and numerous access routes like Kucera Rd and W Fork Rd, highlights the area's role in forest management and back-country recreation. Historical pack trails and modern routes intersect throughout the terrain, with the Piquett Divide Trl and Upper East Side Piquett Trl tracing the high ridges between Piquett Creek and its tributaries.

Water plays a central role in the landscape's character, with names like Applebury Creek, Britts Creek, and Rombo Creek defining the deep draws. Landmarks such as Buck Creek Saddle and Wiles Peak provide significant orientation points for those studying the physical geography of the region. The map preserves a detailed record of the specific drainage names and local trail systems, such as the Red Dog Trl and Beavertail Creek Trl, which were essential for traversing these mountain reaches.
