2017 Map of Evaro

About this map

Coriacan Defile serves as the central geographic corridor for this portion of western Montana, where modern roadways and historic pathways converge through the pass between Grizzly Mountain and Beargrass Mountain. The settlements of Schley and Evaro anchor the northern and southern ends of this passage, respectively, surrounded by the extensive reaches of the Lolo National Forest. The landscape is defined by steep drainage basins and creeks, including Finley Cr and Schley Cr, which flow through the rugged terrain of the Reservation Divide. To the south, the iconic Marent Trestle spans across Marent Gulch, a notable engineering landmark in a region characterized by its high-altitude peaks like TV Mtn. This map documents a critical transportation link through the mountains, illustrating how the natural topography has dictated the placement of mountain home lines and forest trails.
