2024 Map of Snowy Summit

About this map

Snowy Summit stands as a prominent high point in this remote corner of the Clearwater National Forest, marking a landscape defined by an intricate network of high ridges and narrow saddles. The terrain is structured by a series of significant elevations including Hemlock Ridge to the north and Austin Ridge at the southern boundary. This 2024 survey captures the topographical complexity of the Bitterroot backcountry where Idaho and Clearwater counties meet. The presence of Soldier Meadows and Lean-To-Spring suggests isolated points of relief within the dense forest canopy, while natural transit corridors are indicated by labels like Beaver Dam Saddle and Beaver Saddle. The mapping of these features, alongside the sharp relief of Rocky Ridge, provides a contemporary record of this undeveloped wilderness area.
