2020 Map of Schley Mountain

About this map

The Bitterroot Range forms a formidable natural boundary along the Montana-Idaho state line, where the high-altitude wilderness of Lolo National Forest meets the Clearwater National Forest. This remote landscape is defined by its dramatic crests, including Schley Mtn and Admiral Peak, which overlook a complex network of high mountain basins and glacial waters. Below the steep pass of Schley Saddle, numerous small bodies of water like Cedar Log Lakes, Kelly Lake, and Kid Lake collect in the high cirques. The drainage patterns are intricate, with various branches of Indian Cr and Cedar Log Cr carving deep into the terrain. This map documents a largely roadless interior, marked only by isolated forest service routes like 18001, serving as a critical record of the undisturbed topography between Mineral County, Montana, and Clearwater County, Idaho.
