2013 Map of Saddle Mountain

About this map

The Idaho Montana state line bisects this high-elevation wilderness, where the Nez Perce National Forest meets the Bitterroot National Forest. Defined by its drainage basins and sharp ridgelines, the landscape is dotted with remote alpine waters including Battle Lake, Granite Lake, and the Upper Twin Lake near the eastern boundary. Several prominent summits such as Goat Heaven Peaks, Saddle Mtn, and Cove Peak dominate the topography, connected by high crossings like Lost Horse Pass and Wahoo Pass. The intricate stream network, including Wahoo Cr and Granite Cr, demonstrates the complex watershed that characterizes this section of the Northern Rockies. This map provides an essential view of the administrative and natural boundaries during the early twenty-first century, useful for tracing forest management history and the geography of the Bitterroot range.
