About this map

Reservation Divide serves as the prominent boundary line on this topographical study, separating the Flathead Indian Reservation to the north from the Lolo National Forest to the south. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Mc Cormick Peak, Blackrock Peak, and Josephine Peak, with numerous drainage systems like West Fork Revais Creek and Mc Cormick Creek carving through the mountain slopes.

Evidence of resource extraction is concentrated in the southern half of the quadrangle. Researchers can locate the Favorite Mine and other unnamed Mines tucked into the drainages of Kennedy Gulch, along with several areas marked for Tailings. A traditional Pack Trail winds through the northern peaks and the Blacktail Basin, providing a glimpse into the historic access routes used before the expansion of modern road networks in these remote stretches of Sanders Co and Missoula Co.
