About this map

The Mission Range towers over a landscape defined by the convergence of mountain waters in this remote part of Montana. The drainage system is particularly prominent, featuring the North Fork Jocko River, Middle Fork Jocko River, and South Fork Jocko River as they carve through steep topography. These waterways are joined by several high-elevation tributaries such as Falls Creek and Deep Creek, highlighting the complex hydrology of the region.

Water bodies including Lower Jocko Lake, White Horse Lake, and Meadow Lake are scattered across the terrain, with the Belmore Sloughs marking a unique wetland transition. Access to this high-country environment is limited to routes like Jocko Canyon Rd and Tribal Rd, which navigate the boundary between Lake County and Missoula County. The map provides a detailed view of the natural contours and water sources essential for understanding the seasonal patterns of this wilderness area.
