2013 Map of Watchtower Peak

About this map

Bitterroot National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Ravalli County, Montana, and Idaho County, Idaho. The summit of Watchtower Peak serves as a primary geographic anchor for the region, overlooking a complex drainage system that feeds several mountain streams. Waterways such as Schofield Cr and Indian Cr carve deep paths through the terrain, while landmarks like Indian Hill and Cooper Point provide significant elevation markers for the area. The map illustrates a remote wilderness defined by sharp relief and the winding jurisdictional boundary between two states. Local topographic features like Saddle Gulch and the headwaters of Sheephead Cr reflect the natural drainage patterns of this protected forest land, highlighting the area’s importance for environmental conservation and regional hydrology at the time of the 2013 survey.
