About this map

Lochsa River flows through the northwestern corner of this territory, defining a landscape of high ridges and deep drainages within the Clearwater National Forest. The geography is anchored by prominent elevations such as Tom Beal Peak and Hot Springs Point, which overlook a complex network of waterways including Warm Springs Creek and Roaring Creek. This area, updated in the mid-1990s, reflects the managed preservation of the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, where the lack of developed roads highlights a primitive backcountry character.

Insight into land management is visible at Cooperation Point, situated along a boundary that separates different forest management zones. The southern reaches of the map are defined by the Wind Lakes and their namesake Wind Lakes Creek, while the Lochsa Recreational River corridor suggests the intersection of natural conservation and public access. The drainage patterns of Tom Beal Creek and Saturday Creek provide a detailed look at the hydrology of the Bitterroot Range before it descends toward the river valley.
