About this map

Bitterroot National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain in Ravalli County, defined by a network of drainage basins and prominent summits. The geography is anchored by Piquett Mountain and the high point of Wiles Peak, with alpine waters collected in Shelf Lake and Slate Lake. The landscape is etched by numerous watercourses including Overwhich Creek, Gentile Creek, and Antler Creek.

Evidence of mineral exploration is visible through several Prospects located near Jaw Mountain and along the slopes above Elk Creek. A complex system of forest trails and 4WD tracks, such as those following Dan Creek and Mill Gulch, suggests a history of backcountry access for resource management or recreation. The map provides a detailed record of the undeveloped forest before the turn of the 21st century, showing a wilderness largely defined by its natural water system and peaks like Quartzite Mountain.
