About this map

The high alpine divide of the Idaho-Montana border dominates this landscape, where the Nez Perce National Forest meets the Bitterroot National Forest. This high-altitude terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits including Goat Heaven Peaks, Saddle Mtn, and Cove Peak. Water travels from these heights through a network of drainages such as Battle Cr, Wahoo Cr, and Granite Cr.

Remote mountain waters like Battle Lake, Mud Lake, and Upper Twin Lake are scattered across the peaks, providing critical landmarks for those navigating the wilderness. The map details vital points of passage through the high country, most notably Lost Horse Pass and Wahoo Pass. Human access is primarily limited to the southeastern corner via Twin Lakes Rd, reflecting the primitive and protected nature of these national forest lands.
