2014 Map of Sawmill Saddle

About this map

Bitterroot National Forest and Lolo National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Ravalli and Granite Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and named summits, including the prominent Green Mtn and the topographic high point at Eagle Point. Waterways such as the Burnt-Fork Bitterroot River and Rock Creek carve through the deep gulches, while Sawmill Saddle serves as a key crossing point between watersheds. The map documents a classic wilderness environment where few roads penetrate, with S Burnt Fork Rd providing one of the limited access routes into the southern portion of the area. Local history is traced through the names of various drainages like Grizzly Cr and Sawmill Cr, which reflect the region's logging and wildlife heritage.
