About this map

Flathead Indian Reservation lands meet the northern reaches of the Lolo National Forest in this late-twentieth-century study of the Montana high country. The boundary line for the Jocko Tribal Primitive Area defines the western portion of the map, carving through high-elevation terrain near Hidden Lake and Boles Point. This is a landscape dominated by the drainage systems of Gold Creek and its tributaries, including the West Fork Gold Creek and Wild Horse Creek.

The presence of high-altitude features like Gold Creek Peak 7207 and Black Mountain indicates the steep relief that characterizes this part of Missoula County. While the terrain is largely undeveloped, the map traces the Seeley Lake Missoula route and identifies seasonal water features such as Liberty Meadows and Boles Meadow, which served as critical landmarks for forest management and local travel before the turn of the millennium.
