2020 Map of Trapper Peak

About this map

Trapper Peak and its companion summit, North Trapper Peak, anchor this high-elevation terrain within the Bitterroot National Forest. The landscape is defined by a dense concentration of glacial cirque lakes and alpine drainage systems. Significant water bodies like Baker Lake, Trapper Lake, and Mink Lake are tucked into the steep drainages of Trapper Creek and Mink Cr. To the north, distinctive landmarks such as The Lonesome Bachelor and Sugarloaf Peak overlook the headwaters of Tin Cup Cr and Chaffin Creek. This 2020 survey provides a modern view of the complex hydrography and summit topography of the Bitterroot Range, detailing the myriad small streams like Slide Cr and Crow Cr that feed the larger valley systems.
