About this map

Niarada sits at the eastern edge of this landscape where the Little Bitterroot River winds through the valley floor. The terrain is defined by the sharp contrast between the irrigated lowlands of the Lozeau Flats and the rising timberlands of the Lolo National Forest to the west. Water management is a primary feature of the local geography, evidenced by the Upper Dry Fork Reservoir and the extensive network of irrigation infrastructure including the Camas 1 Canal and the Alder Cr Ditch.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the McKay Cem tucked along W Rd, north of the main settlement. The map also documents the complex drainage system of the mountain slopes, tracing the paths of Mill Pocket Cr and Bassoo Cr as they descend toward the river basin. Numerous forest service roads, such as Mill Creek Rd and Rd 4430, provide a detailed record of the access routes into the high country near Mill Pocket.
