2011 Map of Potomac

About this map

Potomac sits in a valley at the confluence of several mountain streams in Missoula County, where the southern reaches of the Blackfoot River define the local topography. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape of working timberlands and rural ranching, centered around the Potomac Post Office and the Greenough Potomac Fire Dept Sta 1. The map reveals evidence of local industry and water management, such as the SW Section 23 Mine and the R Wills Dam on Blixit Creek. To the north, the river is crossed by the Whitaker Bridge, connecting the valley to high terrain like Little Belmont Point and Goose Rock. Large expanses like Camas Prairie suggest the importance of open grazing lands within the valley floor, surrounded by prominent landmarks like Morrison Peak and Steves Pass.
