2011 Map of Williams Peak

About this map

Williams Peak and its high-elevation fire tower, the Williams Peak Lookout, anchor this stretch of the Bitterroot Mountains in Mineral County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and gulches, including Slaughterhouse Gulch and Camillia Gulch, which feed into the central Fish Creek system. A prominent point of interest identifies the Largest Pine in Montana, located north of the Big Pine Campground along the waterway. At the northern edge, the Clark Fork river cuts through the landscape near the confluence with Rock Creek. This area preserves evidence of early mountain industry and recreation, from the Fish Creek Mine situated near Winkler Gulch to the seasonal dwellings at Helean Camp. The map provides a detailed look at the Forest Service road network, such as Fish Creek Rd and Thompson Creek Rd, which navigate the steep transition between peaks and river flats.
