2020 Map of Hamilton North

About this map

Pinesdale and its surrounding communities are positioned where the rugged eastern slopes of the Bitterroot National Forest meet the fertile valley floor of the Bitterroot River. This 2020 topographic record shows a landscape defined by the transition from steep, timbered ridges like Romney Ridge and landmarks such as Don Mackey Point to the structured agricultural and residential grids of the valley. Water management and drainage are central to the area's layout, with numerous creeks including Sheafman Cr, Mill Cr, and Blodgett Cr flowing eastward toward the main river channel. Local history is anchored by sites like Pinesdale Cem and Blodgett Cem, while the region's aviation needs are served by a network of small landing strips including Hedditch Airport, Kimp Airport, and the larger Ravalli County Airport. The settlement patterns of Woodside and Riverside reflect the ongoing development along the valley corridor.
