2011 Map of Saint Joseph Peak

About this map

Saint Joseph Peak and Bass Peak anchor this high-altitude landscape in western Montana, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of alpine lakes and headwater streams. Small mountain lakes like Moose Lake, Grimes Lake, and Storm Lake sit at the source of several drainages, feeding into South Fork Spruce Creek and South Fork Lolo Creek. The presence of the Cliff Mine on the eastern slopes of the main peak suggests the area's history of mineral prospecting, while the Bass Lake Dam on Bass Creek indicates early water management efforts in these high basins.
