About this map

Little Bitterroot Lake dominates the northern landscape of this region, serving as a focal point for the small settlement of Marion. The area transition south from the lake's shores into the drainage of the Little Bitterroot River and the meandering Pleasant Valley Fisher River. Aviation access is notably represented by two facilities, Cabin Creek Landing Airport and Hanson Airport, reflecting the logistical needs of this mountain valley.

Boundaries of the Flathead National Forest encompass the surrounding high ground of the Salish Mountains, while the valley floor features the quiet enclave of Pine Prairie. Local history is preserved in the network of residential and mountain roads like Old Bitterroot Dr and Marion Hubbart Spur, which connect isolated homesteads to the primary thoroughfares. From Granger Meadow to the secluded Skookum Lake, the map captures a specific balance of national forest management and private valley life.
