1985 Map of St Patrick Peak

About this map

Lolo National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of this Mineral County landscape, where the drainage of North Fork Fish Creek and West Fork Fish Creek meet. The geography is defined by prominent elevations including St Patrick Peak and Cedar Peak, separated by a complex network of steep gulches and creek beds. A significant waypoint on the landscape is Clearwater Crossing, which serves as a junction for movement through the drainage systems of Packers Gulch and the surrounding peaks. The naming conventions throughout the area, from Heineman Ridge to Mc Ginty Creek, reflect the legacy of early prospecting and timber interests in the Northern Rockies. This provisional survey captures the intricate water system including Tanglefoot Creek and Louisiana Gulch as it existed in the mid-1980s.
