2014 Map of Sula

About this map

Sula and the valley of Ross Hole sit at a geographic crossroads within the southwestern corner of the state, where the East Fork Bitterroot River meets numerous mountain drainages. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the irrigated valley floor and the towering slopes of the Bitterroot National Forest. The map documents a traditional ranching and mountain pass environment, anchored by the Sula Cem and the winding path of US Hwy 93. Further south, the terrain climbs significantly toward the Continental Divide, which serves as the boundary between Bitterroot and Beaverhead National Forest. Geologic and topographic features such as Sula Peak, Barley Ridge, and numerous draws like Tuff Draw and Angle Draw emphasize the complex drainage patterns feeding into the Bitterroot watershed.
