About this map

The Blackfoot River and Clearwater River converge amidst a landscape defined by timber and transit in this mid-1960s survey. Much of the northern terrain is managed as the Lolo National Forest, giving way to the broad expanse of Nine Mile Prairie further south. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad follows the winding river corridor, serving small settlements and industrial points such as Barite.

Evidence of the region's logging and ranching heritage is found at the Greenough PO and the nearby Lubrecht Camp. Elevation points like the Hunter Point Lookout Tower on Sunset Hill reflect the necessity of fire observation in these dense woodlands. The presence of the Sunset Sch near the junction of Elk Creek suggests a localized community node that supported the families working the surrounding State Forest and meadows.
