2014 Map of Dunkleberg Creek

About this map

Jens sits along the northern edge of this Montana landscape where the Clark Fork river and Interstate 90 parallel the base of the Flint Creek Range. The terrain rises sharply south of the river valley, dominated by the heavily dissected slopes of the Deerlodge National Forest. Significant drainages such as Dunkleberg Cr and Hoover Cr carve through the foothills, defining a region characterized by specialized land management and water control, as seen at the Goldberg Reservoir. Local history is embedded in the naming of the high country, from the prominent Dunkleberg Ridge to the isolated Lone Tree Hill. A network of historic paths and local routes like E Mullan Trl and Whiskey Canyon Rd indicates a landscape that has long balanced transportation needs with the demands of the steep, timbered environment of the Granite and Powell county line.
