About this map

Little Bitterroot Lake and Ashley Lake anchor the eastern and southern edges of this Montana survey, illustrating the complex drainage systems of the region. The landscape is defined by the high point of Pleasant Valley Mountain and the significant geographic notch of Haskill Pass, which serves as a natural corridor for travelers. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous waterways, including Griffin Creek, Herrig Creek, and McGovern Creek, which dictate the placement of local routes such as Griffin Creek Rd.

The presence of the Lions Bitterroot Youth Camp on the northern shore of Little Bitterroot Lake highlights the area's role in local recreation and community life. Residential and access roads like Lodgepole Rd and Locke Bay Dr trace the lakefront, while more utilitarian paths like Natl Forest Develop Road 9539 Rd reach into the upland timber. This 2011 survey documents a balance between protected forest lands and established lakefront development.
