About this map

The Flathead River flows prominently through this section of the Lolo National Forest, where the small settlement of Knowles sits along its northern bank. The topography is defined by the steep elevation gains toward Siegel Mtn and Siegel Pass in the south, while the northern reaches are carved by Little Money Cr and Knowles Creek. Historical land use in this part of Sanders County is reflected in the network of forest roads such as the Ninemile-Siegle Rd and the Dixon 1000.

Evidence of local infrastructure and activity appears at the Flathead River Bridge and the Gingery-Gem landmark. The drainage system is particularly dense, with numerous tributaries including Wilson Creek, Burgess Creek, and Seepay Creek feeding into the main river valley. This map provides a detailed view of the interface between the river corridor and the high-altitude terrain of the national forest.
