2017 Map of Hamilton South

About this map

The Bitterroot River valley south of Hamilton reveals a landscape defined by the transition from the irrigated valley floor to the steep eastern reaches of the Bitterroot National Forest. In the late 2010s, this area maintains a mix of agricultural legacies and residential clusters at Grantsdale, Ward, and Charlas Heights. The map traces the winding paths of several mountain streams, including Roaring Lion Cr, Gold Cr, and Sleeping Child Cr, as they flow toward the main river channel. Local history and genealogy interests are centered around features like the Grantsdale Cem and the naming of local landmarks such as Tammany Hill and Goat Mtn. The detailed road network, from Grantsdale Cutoff Rd to the various loops serving the foothills, illustrates the continued development of these Ravalli County communities.
