  Montana Territory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The territory also included a portion of the Idaho Territory west of the continental divide and east of the Bitteroot Range, which had been acquired by the United States in the Oregon Treaty, and originally included in the Oregon Territory.
This explanation may be an urban legend though, and there appear to be sources stating that the division along the Bitteroot range instead of the continental divide is exactly what was proposed.

The Bitterroot Range (a subrange of the Rocky Mountains) runs along the border of Montana and Idaho in the northwestern United States.
The range is named after the bitterroot, a small pink flower that is the state flower of Montana.

 Idaho-Montana Boundary Legend   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The line Congress chose was mainly the Bitterroot range and, farther south, the Continental Divide.
In any event, the legend has it that the boundary surveyors made a truly colossal error in following the Bitterroots instead of the Continental Divide as they allegedly were supposed to--and that as a result Idaho lost Missoula, Butte, and all the rest of Montana which is west of the Rockies.
Going the way they did, from north to south, they could not possibly have mistaken the Bitterroots for the Continental Divide where the two ranges come together north of Salmon; they already were coming south along the Bitterroot range before they reached the Continental Divide.

 Bitterroot National Forest Campgrounds
The Bitterroot National Forest is a forest of strong contrast with sub-alpine woodland, open grassy areas, crystal blue lakes and streams, and majestic glaciated mountains.
This phenomena is thought to have been caused by the tops of the Bitterroot Range shearing off while moving across the valley to become, what we call today, the Sapphire Range.
Besides the geological features that contribute to the range of recreational opportunities found in here, the Bitterroot National Forest has retained bits of its human history.
