2024 Map of White Sand Lake

About this map

The Bitterroot Mountains define this high-elevation wilderness where the state line divides the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and the Bitterroot National Forest. This modern survey documents a landscape dominated by dramatic ridgelines like Dan Ridge and significant peaks including Totem Peak. A network of backcountry routes, such as the Colt Killed Trl and Packbox Creek Trl, provides the primary means of traversal through these protected lands. Numerous alpine water bodies are scattered across the terrain, from the larger White Sand Lake and Garnet Lake to smaller pockets like Dodge Lake and Maud Lake. The map illustrates the headwaters of the Middle Fork Bear Creek and Colt Killed Creek, showing the complex drainage patterns that shape the Idaho and Montana border region.
