2020 Map of Schultz Saddle

About this map

The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds across this high-elevation Montana landscape, following the ridgelines that separate Bitterroot National Forest from Beaverhead National Forest. This 2020 survey records the intricate topography of the Anaconda Range, where significant passes like Schultz Saddle and Mink Creek Saddle provide critical transit points through the crests. The drainage patterns are defined by numerous creeks, including Springer Cr and Lodgepole Cr, which feed the East Fork Bitterroot River in the northwest corner. Along the Ravalli and Beaverhead county line, the map details a network of forest routes and historic pathways, such as the Tolan-Reimel Cutoff and the Reimel-Tolan Divide, illustrating the continued importance of these ridges for modern recreation and resource management.
