About this map

The Flathead River carves a central path through this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the primary corridor for both natural drainage and industrial transport. The Northern Pacific railroad follows the southern bank of the river, while a Pipeline cuts across the western hills, reflecting the infrastructure required to navigate this portion of Sanders County. To the south, industrial activity is centered at the Green Mountain Mine, situated near the confluence of Revais Creek and its West Fork.

Agricultural and water management efforts are evident through the Revais Canal on the eastern edge of the sheet. High elevations are anchored by Sonyok Mountain in the northeast, which overlooks the valley floor known simply as the Basin. The presence of numerous Spring and Springs labels suggests a terrain where groundwater access was critical for both local mining operations and the scattered drainage systems like Gunderson Creek and West Magpie Creek.
