1989 Map of Gold Creek

About this map

The Mission Mountains dominate this 1989 topography, reflecting the conservation management of the Flathead Indian Reservation. The landscape is structured around the drainage of the Jocko River and its major tributaries, including the Middle Fork Jocko River, Gold Creek, and Pistol Creek. This area is characterized by restricted land use designations, with the Tribal Wilderness and Tribal Primitive Area preserving the high-elevation terrain near Twin Lakes. A complex network of BIA-managed forestry roads, such as S-14 and various P-series routes like P-5000, provides access through the drainage basins of Grizzly Creek and Big Knife Creek, delineating the boundary between Lake County and Missoula County.
