2014 Map of Stuart Peak

About this map

Lolo National Forest encompasses the majority of this landscape, where the high ridges of the Rattlesnake Mountains rise above the Grant Creek Basin. In the southwestern corner, the recreational slopes of the Missoula Snow Bowl are accessible via Snow Bowl Rd, providing a contrast to the surrounding wilderness. The terrain is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring a high concentration of mountain lakes including Lake Sa-ol-Sooth, Worden Lake, and the clustered Farmers Lakes below Stuart Peak. The small settlement of Evaro sits along the western boundary, marking the transition from the valley floor to the prominent summits of McLeod Peak and Murphy Peak. This topography illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the region, where headwaters such as E Fork Finley Cr and Rattlesnake Cr descend from alpine basins.
