Missoula serves as the hub of this early 20th-century landscape, where the confluence of the Clark Fork and Bitterroot River dictated the early settlement and industrial patterns of western Montana. To the west of the city, Ft Missoula anchors the valley, while the rail lines of the Northern Pacific and the Chicago Milwaukee and Puget Sound carve through the narrow mountain passes. The map reveals a frontier economy transitioning from extraction to more permanent settlement, evidenced by the Coppersmith Mine and Otis Sawmill situated in the high timber of the Lolo National Forest.
