About this map

The Bitterroot Mountains define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Mineral County, Montana, and Clearwater County, Idaho. Revised at the turn of the millennium, this map documents a rugged wilderness terrain where the Lolo National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest meet. The geography is dominated by steep drainages feeding into the West Fork Indian Creek and several high-country basins.

Evidence of human activity is sparse, marked primarily by a single Mine located south of Schley Mountain. Numerous alpine water bodies are scattered throughout the peaks, including Surveyor Lake, Kid Lake, and the Cedar Log Lakes. Strategic high points like Admiral Peak and the Schley Saddle provide orienting landmarks for surveyors and foresters navigating the complex network of forks and creeks that form the headwaters of Montana Creek and Irish Basin Creek.
