About this map

The Lolo National Forest dominates this section of Sanders County, where the Thompson River winds through a landscape of ridges and creek drainages. Significant elevation changes are marked by landmarks such as Deerhorn Mtn and McCully Ridge, while the water network is defined by the Little Thompson River, Calico Creek, and Fishtrap Cr.

Logging and forestry access define the human footprint here, visible in the network of forest development roads and named routes like Plum Creek Rd and McLaugh Rd. This survey captures the region's managed wilderness character, including the Stobie Ranch Rd corridor and smaller drainages like Sears Gulch and Jungle Cr. The map illustrates how topographical features and water sources dictate the placement of local infrastructure within the national forest boundaries.
