About this map

Lonepine serves as the focal point of this western Montana landscape, situated in a valley defined by the Little Bitterroot River and the complex irrigation network of the Camas Canal. The 2011 survey reveals a rural community where water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by the Dry Fork Reservoir and its companion Upper Dry Fork Reservoir. The local geography is marked by distinct terrain features such as Letzen Gulch and Rattlesnake Butte, the latter of which overlooks the southern reaches near the Upper Lookout Mine.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites including the Murray Memorial Cemetery and the Indian Cemetery, reflecting the area's diverse heritage. The infrastructure is characterized by an extensive grid of secondary roads like Vonsegen Rd and Magera Rd, while the Lonepine Post Office remains a primary landmark for the settlement. This map captures the intersection of natural waterways like Dry Fork Creek and the engineered canals that sustain the valley's agricultural character.
