2024 Map of Musselshell

About this map

Musselshell Meadows and the small settlement of Musselshell sit at the northwestern edge of this 2024 survey, which documents a landscape deeply defined by the drainage networks of the Clearwater National Forest. The map reveals a complex web of timber and forest access roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 535 and Gravel Pit Rd, winding through prominent elevations like Chamook Ridge and Austin Ridge. Notable landmarks such as Clark Tree provide specific points of reference for local historians or land managers. The hydrography is particularly dense, with numerous tributaries including Lolo Creek, Eldorado Creek, and Musselshell Creek carving through the terrain. The border between Clearwater and Idaho Counties bisects the southern half of the quadrangle, highlighting the administrative boundaries that overlap this remote forested region.
