2017 Map of Saint Patrick Peak

About this map

Saint Patrick Peak and Cedar Peak anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Lolo National Forest along the border of Mineral County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and ridges, where named gulches such as Louisiana Gulch, Whiterock Gulch, and Whitehorse Gulch carve into the steep slopes. High points like McMullan Peak and Needle Point provide surveying landmarks above the deep valley of the N Fork Fish Cr. This map documents the essential forest infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing remote access routes like McFarland Creek Rd and Fish Creek Rd that facilitate travel through the heavily timbered mountain sections. The abundance of named peaks and ridges, including Heineman Ridge, reflects the legacy of local naming conventions in this part of the Bitterroot Range.
