About this map

Taylor Peak and the high ridgelines of the Bitterroot Range define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Idaho and Montana. The 2020 map documents a transition from the Kaniksu National Forest in the north to the Coeur d'Alene National Forest in the south, following the rugged spine where Sanders and Shoshone counties meet. While permanent settlements are sparse, the terrain is marked by a network of OHV trails and forestry roads, including the E Little Guard Ohv and Haystack Mountain Ohv.

Tracing the drainage patterns reveals a complex system of gulches and creeks, such as Berlin Gulch and Monday Gulch, that feed into major waterways like Shoshone Creek. Points of interest for those studying the physical geography of the Shoshone Range include Porcupine Pass, Haystack Mountain, and the prominent Hullman Peak. The map provides an exact look at the modern forest management infrastructure, from the Shoshone Creek Road to the Lost Creek-State Line trail.
