2011 Map of Sawtell Peak

About this map

Sawtell Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape on the border of Idaho and Montana, serving as a prominent landmark for the surrounding headwaters. The topography is defined by sharp elevation changes and numerous watercourses, including Hell Roaring Creek and Yale Creek, which drain the mountain's eastern and western flanks. To the north, the waters of Henrys Lake appear at the map's edge, fed by streams like Duck Creek and Hope Creek. The drainage patterns here reveal a complex hydrologic network, with Rock Creek Basin and Lake Marie tucked into high-relief areas. Transportation is largely restricted to corridors like Red Rock Rd and the winding Sawtell Peak Rd, which provides access to the heights. Historical land use is hinted at by features such as Schoolhouse Canyon and Bootjack Pass, suggesting the routes and localized settlements that once navigated this high-mountain terrain.
