2017 Map of Primrose

About this map

The Clark Fork river dominates this Missoula County landscape, serving as a corridor for settlement and infrastructure. The topography is defined by the valley floor at Big Flat and Grass Valley, where complex water management systems like the Frenchtown Irrigation District Ditch and Grass Valley French Ditch reveal the agricultural history of the region. Transportation routes are prominent, with Old US Hwy 10 and Mullan Rd following the natural contours of the river valley. The map documents smaller communities such as Primrose, Wye, and Schilling, which are positioned near these vital transit links. To the west, the terrain rises into the timbered slopes of the Lolo National Forest, marked by numerous drainages including Sherman Gulch and Cyr Gulch. The presence of Harper Bridge highlights an essential crossing point for local commerce and travel.
