About this map

Torino Peak and the high ridges of the Bitterroot Mountains dominate this landscape along the Idaho-Montana border. In the early 21st century, this remote terrain remained characterized by its deep gulches and significant water sources, including the headwaters of the South Fork Little Joe Creek and the North Fork Little Joe Creek. The drainage patterns here are complex, with waters flowing from high points like Sunset Peak and Little Joe Mountain into named valleys such as Ann Arbor Gulch and Fourth of July Gulch.

High-altitude water bodies such as Diamond Lake and Cliff Lake sit beneath the shadow of Eagle Cliff, reflecting the area's glaciated topography. A notable modern addition to the survey is the Little Joe Slide Point of Interest, marking a specific geologic event or landmark on the slopes of Sunset Ridge. The map details an extensive network of Forest Service roads, such as S Fork Connection, which provide access through the dense network of ridges like Crooked Ridge.
