2014 Map of Tin Cup Lake

About this map

The crest of the Bitterroot Mountains serves as the dramatic boundary between Montana and Idaho, a high-altitude divide captured in this 2014 survey. High-basin waters like Tin Cup Lake and the White Cap Lakes dominate the landscape, feeding a network of steep drainages including Tin Cup Cr and White Cap Cr. This area is split between the Bitterroot National Forest and the Nez Perce Nat For, representing a vast tract of protected wilderness where natural features define the topography rather than human settlement. The map highlights significant elevation markers such as Vance Mtn and the cascading Ruby Ann Falls, providing a precise look at the drainage patterns of Canyon Cr and Trapper Cr as they move through the complex terrain of Ravalli and Idaho counties.
