About this map

Kootenai National Forest blankets this section of the Montana landscape, where the Fisher River winds through the southern terrain. The area is defined by the broad Pleasant Valley, a geographic corridor that supported early local infrastructure like the Pleasant Valley Sch and a scattered network of water sources including several named Spring and Springs locations. In the northwestern corner, Island Lake and Island Creek provide a distinct contrast to the elevated forest land.

The map reveals a mix of rugged wilderness and light development, evidenced by the presence of a Pack Trail through the timber and a Gravel Pit near the river. The boundary between Lincoln Co and Flathead Co cuts across the northern half of the sheet, dividing this quiet drainage basin. The placement of a Well and the local schoolhouse suggests a small, resilient community centered around the valley's limited flat ground.
