About this map

Sula and its surrounding valley floor known as Ross Hole anchor this portion of the Bitterroot Valley at the foot of the Anaconda Range. The landscape is a complex intersection of water and historic transit, where the East Fork Bitterroot River meets numerous tributaries like Camp Creek and Reimel Creek. This area serves as a significant mountain gateway, indicated by the convergence of the Nez Perce-Nht (Nee-Me-Poo) and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail near the Ravalli Co and Beaverhead Co line.

Local landmarks such as Gallogly Hot Springs and the Sula Cem reflect the long-standing human presence in this high-elevation terrain. The map details the transition from the valley floor to the high ridges of the Bitterroot Mountains, including named heights like Sula Peak and Tolan Ridge. The division between the Bitterroot National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest at Gibbons Pass underscores the importance of this pass as a historic and geographical threshold between the Bitterroot and Big Hole watersheds.
