2014 Map of Huson

About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this mountain landscape west of Missoula, where the high ridges of the Reservation Divide and Edith Peak transition into the valley of the Clark Fork. The settlement of Huson sits along the northern bank of the river, historically positioned near the confluence of Sixmile Cr. To the southeast, the larger community of Frenchtown is supported by the Frenchtown Irrigation District Ditch, a critical piece of water infrastructure that traces the contour of the valley floor. The map detail highlights the complex network of forest roads like Edith Peak Rd and Six Mile Rd, which provide access to the timbered slopes and drainages of French Gulch and Roman Cr, reflecting the region's enduring reliance on both mountain resources and river-valley agriculture.
