About this map

Eureka serves as the gateway to this portion of northwestern Montana, where the Tobacco River flows through a valley defined by numerous glacial kettle lakes. The landscape is heavily influenced by the presence of the Kootenai National Forest, which covers much of the southern and western terrain. Notable water bodies such as Thirsty Lake, Alkali Lake, and Frank Lake dot the lowlands, while higher elevations like Black Butte and Virginia Hill provide a distinct vertical profile.

Recreational and industrial history is evident in the transition from the Virginia Hill Ski Area to the remote reaches of the Lydia Pinkham area. The survey details an intricate network of forest and local roads, including Sinclair Creek Rd and Pinkham Cr Rd, which follow the natural drainage patterns of Pinkham Cr. This geography suggests a region defined by its timber resources and high-country accessibility.
