2020 Map of White Mountain

About this map

Lolo National Forest encompasses the high country of Mineral County, defined by a complex drainage network that feeds into the Clark Fork watershed. High elevations are marked by Lion Point in the north and the prominent White Mtn to the southeast. The landscape is primarily shaped by the headwaters of numerous mountain streams, including Surveyors Cr, Montana Cr, and Cache Cr, which carve through the steep terrain. Access to these areas is provided by a system of Forest Development Roads and established routes such as Thompson Creek Rd and Fish Cr Rd. These corridors highlight the early 21st-century management of public lands, where the focus remains on conservation and watershed protection. The intricate contouring reveals the topographical isolation of features like Pebble Cr and White Cr, providing a detailed study of the northern Rocky Mountain wilderness in modern Montana.
