About this map

The Flathead Indian Reservation dominates this 1964 survey of the western Montana landscape, where the Little Bitterroot River and Dry Fork Creek carve through the foothills near the border of Sanders and Lake counties. The map captures a transition between the elevated heights of Schmitz Mountain and the expansive Camas Prairie Basin to the south.

Local historical markers include the Markle Cem and the Oliver Gulch Sch, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in the region. Transportation and communication are represented by the Hot Springs Landing Strip and a Radio Tower near Markle Pass. The terrain is deeply textured by numerous drainages, including Wilks Gulch and Big Gulch, which feed into the wider valley floor. Small water features like Schmitz Lakes and various springs illustrate the hydrology of the reservation land during the mid-1960s.
