About this map

The Bitterroot Mountains define this high-elevation landscape within the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, where steep ridges and deep drainages converge. In this remote section of the Clearwater National Forest and Nez Perce National Forest, prominent landmarks such as Wahoo Peak and Pettibone Ridge provide orientation for those navigating the backcountry. Waterways like the East Fork Moose Creek and Monument Creek flow through narrow valleys, reflecting the drainage patterns of the region.

Signs of seasonal use and topographic landmarks are found at Horsefly Meadows and Elbow Bend, while Sid Lake sits as a rare alpine water body in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map highlights the intersection of several national forest boundaries and township ranges, including t33n r14e and t34n r15e, which are essential for identifying specific locations within the vast wilderness area.
