About this map

Clark Fork and Rock Creek define the geography of this rugged corridor along the boundary of Missoula and Granite counties. In the late twentieth century, the area served as a gateway to the high country of the Lolo National Forest, featuring small-scale aviation at Elliott Airstrip and specialized service points like the Rock Creek Lodge. The drainage patterns of Swartz Creek and Starvation Creek descend into the main valley, while the southern reaches of the map transition into the protected landscape of the Welcome Creek Wilderness. Local landmarks like Phelan Ranch and the Bonita FS Workcenter provide glimpses into the ranching and forestry operations that shaped the region's human history. Notable elevations including Iris Point and Babcock Mountain tower over the Valley of the Moon Fishing Access, highlighting the area's long-standing importance for outdoor recreation and public land management.
