About this map

The Montana-Idaho border cuts through this high-altitude landscape where the Lolo National Forest meets the Clearwater National Forest. Centered on the Bitterroot Range, the map highlights the divide between Mineral County and Clearwater County. Prominent peaks such as Schley Mountain and Admiral Peak dominate the topography, interspersed with high-basin water bodies like Surveyor Lake, Kid Lake, and the Cedar Log Lakes.

A dense network of drainages defines the area, with Fish Creek and its various forks flowing north while Kelly Creek and Irish Creek drain toward the south and west. This 1985 provisional survey captures the wild character of the state line before modern development, focusing on the natural hydrology and terrain features such as Irish Basin and Schley Saddle that have long served as landmarks for backcountry navigation and forest management.
