About this map

The Eureka Corporate Boundary serves as the focal point for this 1990s-era revision, where the southern edge of town meets the expansive terrain of the Kootenai National Forest. A network of water bodies, including the strangely named Thirsty Lake and Alkali Lake, define the central basin, while the Tobacco River flows through the northeastern corner near the Rexford Ranger District.

Topographical detail is anchored by Black Butte Lookout in the northwest and the prominent Virginia Hill further south. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns of Pinkham Creek and Sinclair Creek, alongside several gulches and draws such as Slick Gulch and Johnson Draw. These landmarks provide a detailed account of the Montana landscape at the close of the century, illustrating the relationship between the Eureka settlement and the managed forest lands that surround it.
