About this map

Potomac and the nearby Camas Prairie anchor the southern reach of this Missoula County landscape, where the valley floor transitions into the protected timberlands of the Lolo National Forest. The Blackfoot River carves a central path through the terrain, featuring the Thibodeau Rapids and crossing under Whitaker Bridge near Goose Rock Flat. This corridor historically served as a vital thoroughfare between the high peaks and the valley settlements.

Mountainous landmarks such as Morrison Peak, Little Belmont Point, and Game Ridge overlook a network of drainage creeks, including Union Cr and Belmont Cr. To the west, Steves Pass provides a natural crossing point through the ridges. The map meticulously documents the rural road system, from the winding Dunnigan Gulch Rd to local paths like Go Away Ln, illustrating the modern distribution of homesteads and forest access in this Montana mountain valley.
