About this map

The Flathead Indian Reservation dominates this 1990s terrain in Sanders County, where water management is central to the landscape. The Camas Canal and the Deer Creek Ditch highlight an intricate irrigation network designed to divert water across this high country. These man-made features work in tandem with natural drainages like Bassoo Creek and Mill Pocket Creek, which flow through the western mountains toward the Little Bitterroot River valley.

In the southeast, the McKay Cem serves as a small but significant point of local history near the river’s path. The topography varies from the level reaches of Loxeau Flats to the elevations of the Lolo National Forest on the western edge. Notable water storage is seen at the Upper Dry Fork Reservoir, which anchors the southern section of the survey, reflecting the ongoing importance of water rights and land use in this part of Montana.
