About this map

Ninemile Prairie opens up along the corridor where the Blackfoot River and Clearwater River meet, forming a landscape shaped by timber management and early transportation routes. The 1960s terrain is heavily defined by the boundaries of the Lolo National Forest and the Lubrecht State Experimental Forest, where Lubrecht Camp serves as a hub for research and forestry operations. Small settlements and local landmarks point to the area's rural character, including the Greenough PO and the Sunset Sch located near the base of Sunset Hill.

Infrastructure is anchored by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which traces the northern bank of the Blackfoot River. In the more rugged reaches, the Hunter Point Lookout Tower overlooks the river valley, while various gulches like Jamison Gulch and Haywire Gulch drain the surrounding ridges toward the valley floor. The presence of Barite along the rail line suggests the industrial connections of this mountain landscape during the mid-20th century.
