2014 Map of Saint Joseph Peak

About this map

Saint Joseph Peak and the surrounding high country define this stretch of the Bitterroot Mountains along the jagged border of Idaho and Montana. This landscape is primarily comprised of protected wilderness, where the boundaries of the Lolo National Forest, Clearwater National Forest, and Bitterroot National Forest converge. The topography is defined by high alpine basins containing numerous named water bodies, such as Sweeney Lake, Bass Lake, and the Middle Fork Lakes. The presence of Stormy Pass and the distinctive Heavenly Twins peaks highlights a complex glacial terrain. The map records the interface between Idaho County and Ravalli County, showing a network of drainages including Kootenai Cr and the N Fork Spruce Cr that flow away from the continental divide.
