2024 Map of Shewag Lake

About this map

Bitterroot Mountain dominates the high-altitude landscape of this 2024 survey along the Idaho-Montana border. The rugged topography is defined by the sharp transition between the Salmon National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest, following the high ridgelines of the Continental Divide. High-country water features like Shewag Lake and the headwaters of Fourth of July Creek reflect the remote character of this alpine environment. The presence of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the Sheep Creek Trail indicates a landscape primarily utilized for wilderness recreation and conservation. Lower elevations reveal historical access points such as Mine Rd Off Stein Mt Rd, hinting at the region's legacy of resource extraction among the peaks of Pyramid Peak and N Mtn.
