2024 Map of Stripe Mountain

About this map

The Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness dominates this high-elevation landscape along the border of Idaho County and Lemhi County. This rugged section of the Bitterroot National Forest is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Salmon Mtn, Goat Mtn, and the namesake Stripe Mtn. Water flows from these heights through a network of creeks such as Shovel Creek and Thirteen Creek, collecting in remote basins like Swet Lake and Hamilton Lakes. Historically significant routes, including the Shoup-Elk City Trl and Harrington Ridge Trl, provide the primary means of navigating this roadless terrain. The survey also identifies family-named landmarks like Witter Point and Eakin Point, anchoring the geography to the region's early frontier history and surveying legacy.
