About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates the high country of Missoula County, where the steep terrain is carved by the Rattlesnake Cr and its tributaries. The landscape is defined by prominent elevations such as Sheep Mtn, Blue Point, and the long spine of Wisherd Ridge. Along the southern edge, the Blackfoot River flows through the valley, serving as a primary corridor for transportation and small settlements like Miller.

Infrastructure in this timbered region is sparse, concentrated near the river valley along Cambridge Rd and Chaffey Ln. Historical local engineering is evident at crossings like Wisherd Bridge and the Marco Flat Bridge. High-altitude water features, including Farmers Lakes and Shoofly Meadows, sit among the peaks, illustrating the drainage patterns that feed into the larger river system via Elk Prairie Cr and Tamarack Cr.
