2020 Map of Saint Mary Peak

About this map

Bitterroot National Forest dominates this section of the Bitterroot Range, defined by the towering Saint Mary Peak and nearby Little St Joe. This 2020 survey illustrates a landscape primarily managed for conservation and recreation, where high-altitude water bodies like Holloway Lake and Lappi Lake feed a network of drainage systems including S Fork Sweeney Creek and Kootenai Creek. While much of the western terrain remains high-elevation wilderness, the eastern fringe shows the gradual transition toward the valley floor through a developed network of forest access and residential roads. Notable pathways like the Sweeney Creek Trail and Ecology Trail provide access to the backcountry, while named features such as Kennedy Gulch and Million Gulch provide specific landmarks for local history and geographic orientation.
