1998 Map of Piquett Creek

About this map

Bitterroot National Forest dominates this landscape in western Montana, where the Bitterroot River and the West Fork Bitterroot River converge. The terrain is defined by its dramatic drainage basins, as dozens of named waterways like Piquett Creek and Applebury Creek carve through the high country. Human activity is sparse and specialized, marked by the presence of a Landing Strip and a Gravel Pit tucked into the river valley. The map documents the administrative boundaries of the West Fork Sula Ranger District and follows the Base Line through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Significant landmarks for navigation and land use include the Buck Creek Saddle and the summit of Romba Mountain, providing a clear record of this mountain environment as it was managed by the Forest Service and USGS in the late 1990s.
