About this map

The Little Bitterroot River winds through this 1964 survey of the Flathead Indian Reservation, marking the transition between the basin floor and the rising uplands of the Cabinet Mountains. The small settlement of Camas sits in the western valley, supported by the engineered water management of the Camas Canal and nearby Flowing Well sites that hint at the region's agricultural and geothermal history.

Further south along the river, the presence of Camp Aqua suggests the area's development around local springs. The map documents a landscape defined by significant drainage systems, including Sullivan Creek and Dry Fork Creek, and the deep incisions of Rattlesnake Gulch and Garceau Gulch. This record captures the boundary between Lake and Sanders counties at a time when traditional ranching and small-scale settlements shaped the valley's character before modern expansion.
