2020 Map of Wapiti Lake

About this map

Lolo National Forest encompasses this high-elevation wilderness in Missoula County, where the hydrology is defined by the headwaters of the S Fork Jocko River and several mountain drainages. The area is marked by significant peaks, including Triangle Peak in the northwest and Mineral Peak in the south, which overlook a series of alpine water bodies. Key aquatic features such as Wapiti Lake, Fly Lake, and Boulder Lake are pocketed among the ridges, while Gold Creek Meadows provides a distinct break in the steep topography. Infrastructure is minimal, limited to rugged access corridors like Finley Creek Rd and Gold Creek Rd that skirt the forest boundaries. The map details the complex drainage patterns of Rattlesnake Cr and Gold Cr, illustrating a pristine landscape managed for conservation and resource protection.
