About this map

Noxon Reservoir serves as the central geographic feature of this Sanders County landscape, where the Clark Fork river valley is framed by the steep rises of Lolo National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest. The small settlements of White Pine, Talc, and Belknap line the valley floor, connected by the corridor of MT-200. The map reveals a high concentration of private family-named roads and rural lanes, such as White Pine Ln, Deer Run Rd, and Naegeli Rd, indicating the dispersed residential pattern typical of this timber and ranching region.

Prominent terrain features like Cougar Peak and The Rock Hill overlook the valley's distinct landmarks, including the geological curiosity of The Blue Slide and the level terrain of Finley Flats. For those researching local operations, the Pinehurst Ranch Airport is noted near the riverbank. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage network feeding into the reservoir, from the waters of Little Beaver Cr to the more distant Sqaylth-kwum Cr on the eastern edge.
