2014 Map of Skalkaho Pass

About this map

Skalkaho Pass serves as a critical high-elevation crossing in the Sapphire Mountains, marking the administrative and geographic divide between Ravalli and Granite counties. This 2014 survey captures the high-country landscape where the Deerlodge National Forest and Bitterroot National Forest meet. The transportation network is anchored by the Skalkaho Hwy, which winds through the steep terrain alongside Daly Cr, while Skalkaho Rd 75 provides access further south near Skalkaho Cr. Numerous drainages define the area's hydrology, including the headwaters of the N Fork Rock Cr and W Fork Rock Cr. High-country landmarks like Signal Rock and the alpine waters of Mud Lake reflect the remote character of this mountain corridor, which remains largely defined by its forest service infrastructure and natural watercourses like Hog Trough Cr and Railroad Cr.
