2011 Map of Saddle Mountain

About this map

Saddle Mountain and the high ridges of the Bitterroot Range define this landscape along the Idaho-Montana border as it appeared in 2011. The topography is dominated by a complex network of drainages, including the headwaters of East Fork Moose Creek, Saddle Creek, and Wahoo Creek. High-altitude water bodies such as Battle Lake and Upper Twin Lake are positioned near prominent summits like Cove Peak and Big Creek Point. The map illustrates the specialized mountain transit routes used for forest access, notably the Twin Lakes Rd 5605, which reaches toward the high passes. Strategic gaps in the ridgeline, such as Lost Horse Pass and Wahoo Pass, indicate the traditional paths through this steep terrain, serving as vital connections for surveys and backcountry travel in Ravalli County.
