About this map

The East Fork Bitterroot River flows through the northwest corner of this drainage basin, where steep high-altitude terrain is defined by prominent crossings and ridgelines. Schultz Saddle and Mink Creek Saddle serve as critical topographic landmarks between various mountain watercourses. Forest Service roads, including FS 725 and FS 5753, provide the primary access into this backcountry area, tracing the contours of the land through Tolan Ridge and near the Hilltop lookout area.

A complex network of tributary streams, such as Tolan Creek, Meadow Creek, and Bugle Creek, carves through the landscape, feeding into the larger river system. The presence of named draws like Jakes Draw and diverse minor forks like Four B Creek and Stone Creek illustrate the detailed mapping of this remote watershed. This 2011 survey reflects the modern management of these timbered lands, showing the established routes and hydrography within the national forest system.
