About this map

The Anaconda Range and the Continental Divide define the high-altitude landscape of this 1990s survey, marking the boundary between Ravalli and Beaverhead counties. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including the East Fork Bitterroot River and numerous feeder streams like Meadow Creek and Tolan Creek. Cultural markers are sparse in this protected area, though a Quarry near Springer Creek indicates localized resource extraction near the northern edge of the sheet.

Outdoor navigation is a central theme of the map, which documents the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail as it traverses the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness. Named landmarks like Schultz Saddle and Tolan Ridge serve as primary orientation points for those tracing the historic routes through the Bitterroot National Forest. The map also captures the Sula Wisdom Boundary Trail, illustrating the intersection of recreation and forest management at the turn of the millennium.
