About this map

The Bitterroot Divide serves as the prominent physical and political spine of this 1985 survey, separating Lolo National Forest in Montana from Clearwater National Forest in Idaho. High-altitude peaks such as Schley Mountain and Admiral Peak dominate the skyline, while the drainage patterns of West Fork Fish Creek and North Fork Kelly Creek carve deep into the surrounding terrain.

Remote alpine water bodies are scattered throughout the high basins, including Surveyor Lake, Kelly Lake, and the Cedar Log Lakes. The presence of Schley Saddle and the Irish Basin illustrates the complex topography along the Mineral and Clearwater county lines. This map captures the wilderness character of the Northern Rockies during the mid-1980s, documenting a landscape defined by its primitive trails and intricate watershed systems.
