About this map

Thompson River carves a central path through this section of Sanders County, defining a drainage system that includes Jungle Creek and Fishtrap Creek to the north. The landscape is dominated by significant elevation changes, anchored by Deerhorn Mountain and the prominent McCully Ridge. These landforms dictate the primitive road network, including Thompson River Rd and the Plum-Cr-Imbr County Rd, which trace the river valley and provide access to the interior.

Local history is centered on the Stobie Ranch in the northeast and water sources like Big Spring and Todd Spring. The map documents a rugged timber and ranching environment where named drainages like Sears Gulch and Barktable Creek serve as the primary landmarks. The presence of numerous National Forest Development roads indicates the area's ongoing importance for forest management and resource access in the early twenty-first century.
