About this map

Ross Hole serves as a central geographical landmark on this 1990s revision, where the East Fork Bitterroot River meets several mountain drainages. The small settlement of Sula is the primary hub for this high-country area, supported by the Sula Ranger District and the Sula Cem located just north of the town center. The map documents a landscape defined by its forestry and recreation heritage, situated within the Bitterroot National Forest and extending to the Continental Divide at the boundary of Beaverhead National Forest.

The presence of the Nez Perce Trail and the Sula Scenic Rd highlights the area's significance as a travel corridor through the mountain passes. Water features like Camp Creek and Reimel Creek provide a detailed look at the drainage patterns flowing off the surrounding ridges such as Barley Ridge and Tolan Ridge. Local infrastructure, including the Indian Trees Campground and a local Gravel Pit, indicates the land use and accessibility of the region during this era.
