2011 Map of Pole Mountain

About this map

Pole Mountain and Surveyors Peak anchor this high-elevation terrain in Shoshone County, where the hydrological network defines the landscape through numerous drainages. The map traces the upper reaches of several water systems, including Pole Creek, Collins Creek, and Ruby Creek, which carve deep paths through the mountainous relief. To the west, the Surveyors Ridge Rd provides access along the high ground, connecting to St Joe Nf Rd 201 near the northern boundary. Small alpine water bodies, specifically Cliff Lake, Slide Lake, and Steve Lake, are concentrated in the southwest corner near Avalanche Ridge. This layout reflects a wilderness area primarily managed for forest resources and watershed protection, with limited infrastructure centered on Forest Service access routes like Surveyors Ridge Rd.
