2014 Map of Upper Jocko Lake

About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates the terrain of this 2014 survey, which highlights the remote watershed of the Middle Fork Jocko River. The geography is defined by high alpine lakes and steep drainages, including Upper Jocko Lake and Lower Jocko Lake, as well as the secluded Lake Elsina to the north. Evidence of human presence is concentrated primarily along established forest routes like Jocko Rd and the Fawn Peak-Jocko Rd, which provide access to the high-elevation Fawn Peak. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Liberty Meadows and Blue Jay Spring suggest a pockets of level ground amidst the ridges of the Bitterroot Range. The map serves as a record of the hydrological network of Missoula County, tracing numerous watercourses such as First Cr, Second Cr, and Deer Cr that feed into the larger river systems of western Montana.
