About this map

The Clark Fork winds through a landscape defined by industrial development and early state heritage in the late 1990s. At Schilling, a large Paper Plant and nearby Substations sit alongside the Schilling Siding railroad spur, marking a center of local industry within the Grass Valley. Further south, the map highlights the Council Grove State Monument and the adjacent Council Grove park, preserving a significant historic site along the riverbanks.

A complex network of water management features, including the Frenchtown Irrigation District Ditch and Big Flat DITCH, underscores the region's agricultural reliance on the river. Educational and community life is anchored by the Grass Valley Sch near the settlement of Primrose. The western portion of the map is dominated by the steep, gulch-cut terrain of the Lolo National Forest, providing a sharp geographical contrast to the developed valley floor and the Kona Ranch Bridge crossing.
