About this map

West Fork Butte Lookout stands as a primary vantage point overlooking the Lolo National Forest area along the Montana-Idaho border. This high-elevation terrain is defined by prominent peaks including West Fork Butte and Skookum Butte, which serve as key landmarks for the surrounding drainage systems. The map detail highlights the hydrological network of the Bitterroot Range, where the headwaters of the East Fork Lolo Creek and the Brushy Fork carve through the landscape.

Remote water bodies like Granite Lake and Lily Lake are visible, alongside specialized mountain features such as Lost Park Meadows and Sally Ridge. The forest service infrastructure is noted by Nat For Dev Rd 5958, illustrating the network used for fire management and backcountry access. This survey records the undeveloped character of the high country, providing a precise look at the creeks and peaks as they were documented in the early 21st century.
