About this map

Frenchtown sits along the northern banks of the Clark Fork river, serving as a gateway to the high elevations of the Lolo National Forest. The landscape is defined by its transition from the irrigated valley floor to the steep drainages of the Reservation Divide. Local infrastructure, including the Frenchtown Irrigation District Ditch and historic thoroughfares like Mullan Rd and Frenchtown Frontage Rd, highlights the town's role as a logistical hub in Missoula County.

The map reveals a series of named canyons and peaks that dominate the northern horizon, such as Charity Peak and Blind Gulch. Religious and community landmarks like the Saint John the Baptist Catholic Cem are clearly marked, providing essential points for genealogical research. Numerous seasonal streams, including Mill Cr and Bear Cr, carve through the forest, emphasizing the complex hydrology of this mountain-locked community.
