2020 Map of Eureka South

About this map

Eureka sits at the northern edge of this Montana landscape, where the Tobacco River flows through a valley defined by prominent elevations like Eureka Hill and Black Butte. This region, largely contained within the Kootenai National Forest, displays a complex network of forest development roads that provide access to high-altitude features like the Virginia Hill Ski Area. The terrain is marked by numerous small glacial lakes and depressions, ranging from the seasonally named Thirsty Lake and Alkali Lake to the more permanent waters of Green Lake and Baker Lake. South of the river, the map reveals a history of land use and navigation through labeled drainages such as Workman Draw and Johnson Draw. The inclusion of named trails and local identifiers like Lydia Pinkham suggests a long-standing human presence and specific local nomenclature within the forest's rugged interior.
