About this map

Huson sits as the primary settlement within a valley defined by the broad curves of the Clark Fork and a dense network of tributary drainages. The landscape transitions from the riparian flats of the river to the high elevations of Edith Peak in the north and Cayuse Hill to the west. This area reflects a modern rural character, where essential community services like the Frenchtown Rural Fire Dist Sta 3 support a network of residential roads such as Brass Ln and Morgan Ln.

Water management is central to the local geography, evidenced by the Frenchtown Irrigation District Ditch and the Schaeffer Dam on Sixmile Creek. Public recreational access is integrated into the riverfront at Erskine Sportsmans Access, while numerous named gulches and creeks, including French Gulch and Roman Creek, carve through the surrounding timbered terrain. The presence of Edith Peak Rd and Six Mile Rd indicates the primary routes of movement through the drainages north of the river.
