About this map

Trilobite Peak and the surrounding Trilobite Range define the high-altitude topography of this remote Montana wilderness. The landscape is a network of ridges and drainages, where the Bob Marshall Wilderness meets the Great Bear Wilderness. Water flows through deep-cut valleys including Argosy Creek and Dolly Varden Creek, while higher basins hold alpine features like Trilobite Lake and Pot Lake.

Remote trails provide the only passage through these protected lands, following the natural contours of Elk Ridge and Dean Ridge. Many of these routes, such as the Roaring Argosy Trl and Dolly Varden Pentagon Trl, connect the various creek drainages over difficult terrain. The convergence of the Spotted Bear River and Slim Creek at the southwestern edge of the quadrangle, near Limestone Peak, marks a significant lower-elevation drainage point for the surrounding peaks.
