About this map

Saint Mary Peak serves as the literal and figurative high point of this section of the Bitterroot National Forest in Ravalli County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with numerous drainages flowing eastward toward the Bitterroot Valley. These include Sweeney Cr, Bass Cr, and Kootenai Cr, which have carved deep canyons into the mountain front. High-altitude features like Lappi Lake and the steep slopes around Kennedy Gulch highlight the alpine character of the terrain.

Access and recreation patterns are visible through a network of roads and trails, such as Saint Marys Peak Rd and the Sweeney Creek Trl. Near the forest boundary, roads like Bass School Rd and N Kootenai Creek Rd indicate the transition toward the valley floor. The map also records several Private Boundary (PB) tracts, such as PB 42 and PB 37, which show the division of land ownership within the national forest context.
