About this map

Little Bitterroot Lake dominates the northern landscape of this western Montana quadrangle, with the settlement of Marion positioned near its northeastern shore. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including the southward-flowing Little Bitterroot River and its tributaries like Sickler Creek. The eastern half of the map is defined by the protected lands of the Flathead National Forest, where high-elevation features like Granger Meadow and Granger Creek are located.

A distinct boundary for the Flathead Indian Reservation runs across the southern portion of the sheet, providing an important cadastral marker for regional historians. The presence of several Gravel Pits and the winding Lower Lost Prairie Road suggests a landscape managed for both resource extraction and backcountry access. Local landmarks such as Moore Springs and Skookum Lake offer specific points of interest for those tracing family history or historic land use in Flathead County during the mid-20th century.
