2011 Map of Straight Peak

About this map

Greenwood Cabins and the North Fork Cabin sit at the fringes of a complex drainage network where the high ridges of the Bitterroot range divide Idaho and Montana. The landscape is defined by its verticality, rising from the waters of Goose Creek and Straight Creek to prominent summits like Straight Peak and Crater Mountain. This 2011 survey reveals a territory rich in high-elevation water bodies, including the isolated Crater Lake and the clustered Trio Lakes. Human presence is minimal and concentrated at established outposts, while the terrain names like Buckos Pocket, Snowy Gulch, and Fletcher Gulch suggest a history of local exploration and prospecting. The map traces the headwaters of numerous streams such as North Fork Fish Creek and South Fork Trout Creek, which carve deep basins below Little Phoebe Mountain and Lightning Peak.
