1998 Map of Printz Ridge

About this map

Printz Ridge and Romney Ridge dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Bitterroot range during the late 1990s. The area is defined by its dramatic relief and alpine hydrology, featuring a network of glacial lakes including Knaack Lake, Michele Lake, and Gerrard Lake tucked beneath the heights of Castle Crag. The cartography emphasizes the protected status of the land, with the Bitterroot National Forest and the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness overlapping across the drainage basins of Fred Burr Creek and Sheafman Creek. Of particular interest is the Fred Burr Reservoir, an engineered water feature situated deep within the wilderness boundaries. This 1998 revision provides a clear view of the mountain terrain before later environmental shifts, documenting the precise locations of landmarks like Mill Point and Tag Alder Lake.
