About this map

Saint Patrick Peak and the high ridges of the Bitterroot Mountains dominate this 2011 survey of western Montana. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses including North Fork Fish Creek, Rock Creek, and McFarland Creek, which carve through deep drainages such as Whiterock Gulch and Louisiana Gulch. Human activity is concentrated in the southeast, where Baileys Lodge and the Hole-in-the-Wall Ranch sit near the confluence of Fish Creek and the West Fork Fish Creek.

This era of the Mineral County backcountry is marked by recreational and agricultural footprints, with the Clearwater Crossing Campground serving as a trailhead for the surrounding peaks. High points like McMullan Peak, Rivulet Peak, and Cedar Peak provide the primary landmarks for navigation across this terrain. The map also traces forest routes like Blue Bird and identifies local livestock-related points like Packers Gulch, reflecting the region's enduring connection to wilderness ranching and outdoor access.
