About this map

The Hubbart Reservoir and its surrounding timberlands dominate this mid-century survey of the boundary between Flathead and Sanders Counties. Fed by the Little Bitterroot River, the reservoir features a notable spillway at its southern end, providing a vital water resource for the region's agricultural and industrial needs. The landscape is defined by the Flathead Nat For, where logging and resource extraction are indicated by features like the Flathead Sunset Quarry and the Hubbard Lookout station.

Local history researchers can trace the course of numerous mountain streams, including Tamarack Creek and Meadow Creek, as they converge near the Flathead Indian Reservation Boundary. Evidence of seasonal or specialized activity is found at Conrad Camp, while the natural beauty of the area is highlighted by the Little Bitterroot Falls and the secluded Hidden Lakes in the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
