About this map

The Flathead Indian Reservation dominates this landscape, where the Jocko Valley provides a corridor for both natural and industrial movement. The settlement of Arlee serves as a local hub, featuring a High Sch, a Fish Hatchery, and a central Rodeo Ground. This community is closely tied to the Jocko River and the Burlington Northern railroad, which runs parallel to the waterway through the heart of the valley.

Elevated terrain to the northeast is defined by the drainage systems of Lamoose Creek and Pistol Creek, with a Lookout Tower positioned on a high ridge for surveillance of the timbered slopes. Along the valley floor, an intricate network of Canals and a Pipeline indicate the importance of water management for local agriculture and industry. Further south, the settlement of Agency and the crossing of the Lake Co Missoula Co boundary mark the transition toward the southern reaches of the reservation.
