2017 Map of Stripe Mountain

About this map

Bitterroot National Forest and Salmon National Forest meet in this high-elevation mountain wilderness, where the boundary between Idaho Co and Lemhi Co follows the prominent ridgelines. The landscape is defined by its significant peaks, including Salmon Mtn, Goat Mtn, and the namesake Stripe Mtn. Historic routes such as the Nez Perce Trail Rd and Square Top West Horse trail provide a glimpse into the traditional passage ways through these steep interior ranges. A high concentration of alpine water features like Hamilton Lakes, Swet Lake, and Swet Lake Pond indicates a glaciated terrain where numerous creek systems, such as Thirteen Cr and Harrington Cr, originate. This survey serves as a vital record of the protected wilderness areas and the hydrographic network that feeds into the broader Idaho river systems.
