About this map

Sherlock Peak dominates this high-country landscape along the State Line between Idaho and Montana during the late 2010s. The map illustrates a complex network of drainage basins and ridges where the St. Joe National Forest, Lolo National Forest, and Clearwater National Forest meet. The central terrain is defined by the Bitterroot Range and significant elevations like Binocular Peak and Neversweat Peak.

For local historians, a unique human marker is preserved at Heller Grave, situated near the confluence of Sherlock Creek and its northern tributaries. The map documents the headwaters of the Saint Joe River and several alpine water bodies including Frog Lake and Bonanza Lakes. This 2017 survey reflects the modern management of this wilderness, tracing forest development roads like Nat For Dev Rd 320 and Bacon Loop through the steep gulches and divides.
