2011 Map of Watchtower Peak

About this map

Watchtower Peak and the surrounding high country of Ravalli County define this 2011 survey of the Idaho-Montana borderlands. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses that gather in the high basins before descending through the drainage systems of Sheephead Creek and its North Fork. High elevation landmarks such as Cooper Point and Indian Hill provide orientation for navigating the remote terrain between Peach Creek and Cayuse Creek. The map reflects a wilderness area primarily managed for its natural resources and watershed value, with little evidence of permanent settlement but clear documentation of the topographic features and stream systems like Schofield Creek and Indian Creek that have long served as the primary identifiers for this portion of the Bitterroot range.
