About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in Sanders County, where the Thompson River winds through a complex network of drainage basins. The geography is defined by high points like Deerhorn Mtn and McCully Ridge, which separate the various creek systems that feed into the larger river valley. These waters, including Jungle Cr, Fishtrap Cr, and Marten Cr, have long shaped the access routes and small-scale human activity in this corner of Montana.

Modern infrastructure is represented by State Hwy 556 and the Thompson River Co Rd, which follow the natural contours of the river valley. Local history and land use are etched into the map through family-named landmarks and access points such as Stobie Ranch Rd, McLaugh Rd, and Sears Gulch. Water resources remain central to the area, evidenced by the presence of Big Spring and Todd Spring, providing essential points of interest for researchers of local land development and natural history.
