1988 Map of Torino Peak

About this map

Torino Peak and Little Joe Mountain dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Mineral and Shoshone counties. This 1980s provisional survey documents the steep drainage basins within the Lolo National Forest and St Joe National Forest, where numerous creeks including Little Joe Creek and Torino Creek carve deep into the mountain ridges. The map captures a wilderness area defined by difficult access, recording only a few specific human interventions such as a Footbridge over Torino Creek and an isolated Prospect near the base of Sunset Peak. For those studying the geography of the Bitterroot range, the map provides precise locations for remote alpine features like Diamond Lake, Cliff Lake, and Moore Lake, as well as the transition from Montana into Idaho along the divide marked by St Joe Ridge.
