About this map

The Bitterroot River valley anchors this 2017 survey, showing the transition from the canyon-cut slopes of the Bitterroot National Forest to the developed flats of the Bitterroot Valley. The settlement of Pinesdale is situated at the edge of the forest, where local history is marked by the Pinesdale Cem and the rugged geography of Sheridan Gulch. To the east, the landscape opens into Poverty Flat and the riverside communities of Woodside and Riverside.

Transportation and aviation are central to this corridor, featuring the Woodside Bridge over the river and several local airstrips, including Hedditch Airport, Kimp Airport, and the larger Ravalli County Airport near Hamilton. Numerous mountain-fed tributaries like Sheafman Cr, Mill Cr, and Blodgett Cr drain the high country, such as Romney Ridge and Don Mackey Point, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns that have historically shaped the region's agricultural and residential development.
