About this map

Triangle Peak and Mineral Peak dominate this high-elevation landscape in Missoula County, where a complex network of alpine lakes and headwaters define the geography. The watershed is anchored by the South Fork Jocko River to the north and the extensive drainage of Gold Creek, which flows through Gold Creek Meadows. Several secluded water bodies, including Wapiti Lake, Sudden Lake, Fly Lake, and Hidden Lake, are tucked between the ridges, while Boulder Lake sits at the foot of Boulder Point.

Transport is limited to the rugged corridor of Gold Creek Rd, highlighting the remote character of this region. The southwestern corner is marked by the path of Rattlesnake Creek and Porcupine Creek, which carve through the steep terrain. This 2011 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, provides a contemporary look at the topographical details of this wilderness area.
