2020 Map of Saint Patrick Peak

About this map

Saint Patrick Peak and Cedar Peak dominate the high-altitude terrain of Mineral County within the protected boundaries of the Lolo National Forest. This 2020 survey illustrates a landscape defined by sharp drainage divides and steep gulches, including Louisiana Gulch and McGinty Gulch, which feed into the extensive hydrological network of Fish Creek. The map shows the intricate path of forest access routes like McFarland Creek Rd and Fish Creek Rd as they navigate the ridges of Heineman Ridge and peaks like McMullan Peak. A series of mountain streams, such as Tanglefoot Creek and Straight Creek, carve through the complex topography. These features indicate a region primarily managed for timber and recreation, with few signs of permanent human settlement beyond the named landmarks and road corridors established for forest management.
