About this map

Saint Mary Peak anchors the high western terrain of this Ravalli County survey, a landscape defined by the deep drainage basins of the Bitterroot National Forest. The geography is shaped by a series of eastward-flowing watercourses, including Sweeney Cr, Bass Cr, and Kootenai Cr, which have carved significant features such as Million Gulch and Kennedy Gulch into the mountain front. High-altitude landmarks like Lappi Lake sit amidst the steep contours, while the lower elevations show the transition to the valley floor via a network of forest and local roads.

Evidence of the area's rural infrastructure and settlement patterns appears along the eastern margin. Here, roads such as Bass School Ln and Sharrott Hill Loop indicate the interface between the protected wilderness and private holdings. Residential and recreational access is highlighted by named routes like Blue Grouse Ln and Larry Creek Loop, providing a detailed look at how the Bitterroot National Forest was accessed and utilized during this period.
