About this map

Bitterroot National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where numerous summits and drainage basins define the wilderness character of Ravalli County. The topography is anchored by Piquett Mountain and Wiles Peak in the north, while Jew Mtn and Quartzite Mtn rise to the south. A network of alpine lakes, including Shelf Lake, Piquett Lake, and Slate Lake, feeds the complex system of creeks such as Slate Cr and Little Boulder Cr.

Evidence of early access and resource management is found along Overwhich Rd, which tracks through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The naming of various drainages like Mill Gulch, Malloy Gulch, and Kraft Gulch suggests a history of local exploration or minor industry in these steep-walled canyons. This 2017 survey provides a detailed view of the remote drainages and peaks that have long drawn foresters and outdoorsmen to this section of the Bitterroot range.
