1989 Map of Hubbart Reservoir

About this map

The Little Bitterroot River winds through this mountainous section of the Flathead Indian Reservation in Northwest Montana, feeding into the prominent Hubbart Reservoir. This 1989 compilation, based on mid-century surveys and updated via 1970s aerial photography, reveals a landscape primarily dedicated to resource management and conservation. The reservoir is controlled by a Spillway at its southern end, while the surrounding high ground is dominated by the Flathead Nat For. Human activity is concentrated around infrastructure like the Hubbard Lookout and the Flathead Sunset Quarry, which indicates a history of active land use within the reservation and national forest boundaries. Settlement is sparse, represented by Conrad Camp on the river's upper reaches, while a dense network of forest service roads like L-6200 and L-6000 provides access through the drainage basins of Briggs Creek and Tamarack Creek.
