About this map

Ross Hole provides a natural basin for the settlement of Sula, where the East Fork Bitterroot River meets several mountain drainages. This high-altitude valley is framed by the Sapphire Mountains to the north and the Bitterroot Mountains to the south, creating a complex intersection of terrain that has historically dictated travel and land use. Local history is anchored at the Sula Cem and by a network of ranch and forest roads like French Basin Rd and Sula Creek Rd.

The wilderness character of the region is defined by the Bitterroot National Forest and Beaverhead National Forest, which meet at the Continental Divide. Numerous pack trails and forest service routes, including the Reimel Creek Trl and Waugh Gulch Trl, thread through the Anaconda Range. These pathways trace the steep gulches and ridges that drain into water bodies like Camp Creek and Reimel Creek, reflecting the area's ongoing importance for forestry and mountain access.
