About this map

The Flathead Indian Reservation meets the southern boundary of the Lolo National Forest in this late 20th-century survey of the high Montana divide. The landscape is defined by its significant drainage networks, including Briggs Creek and Tamarack Creek, which carve through the elevations near the border of Flathead Co Sanders Co. A small Gravel Pit near the Plains Ranger District provides a rare marker of industrial activity in a region otherwise dominated by peaks and forest management.

Prominent landmarks such as Murr Peak and Tepee Mountain anchor the terrain, while the northern section transitions into the Kootenai National Forest. The presence of the North Fork and Fisher River highlights the importance of these watersheds at the turn of the millennium. This map documents a complex intersection of tribal lands and multiple national forests, reflecting the administrative and geographic layout of Western Montana just before the new century.
