2020 Map of Medicine Tree Hill

About this map

Byrne serves as a small point of reference along the Clark Fork river in this 2020 survey of Western Montana. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the river valley and the high peaks of the Lolo National Forest, including the prominent Medicine Tree Hill and Mt Baldy. The historical significance of the corridor is marked by the presence of Mullan Rd, following the path of the original wagon route through the mountains. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, characterized by numerous gulches such as Genoa Gulch and Tendoy Gulch that drain toward the main valley. The map documents the boundary between Missoula and Granite counties, illustrating how the natural topography of ridges like Harvey Ridge and drainages like Tyler Cr have influenced modern land management and road networks such as Drummond Frontage Rd.
