About this map

Bitterroot National Forest defines the topography of this high-elevation region in Ravalli County, dominated by the peaks of Piquett Mtn and Quartzite Mtn. The hydrology is characterized by a series of high-altitude basins containing Shelf Lake, Piquett Lake, and Slate Lake, which feed numerous drainage systems including Piquett Creek and Drop Creek. The landscape is etched with steep ravines such as Mill Gulch, Meadow Gulch, and Kraft Gulch that descend from the primary ridgelines.

Evidence of human access is sparse, centered primarily on Overwhich Rd and various forest service routes that traverse the complex terrain near Jew Mountain. The map illustrates a wilderness area where natural landmarks like Piquett Divide and Wiles Peak serve as the primary navigational anchors, reflecting the region's character as a managed national forest land before any modern development or extensive road networks reached these specific drainages.
