1999 Map of Quinns Hot Springs

About this map

Quinns Hot Springs and the small settlement of Quinns sit at the dramatic confluence where the Flathead River joins the Clark Fork in western Montana. This 1999 revision reveals a landscape shaped by both recreation and resource extraction within the Lolo National Forest. Transportation corridors are critical here, with the John Tunnel marking a rail passage near the river, while high-elevation trails like the Old Pardee Trail and the Cascade Falls Nature Nat Rec Trail provide access to the steep drainage of Much Water Creek. Evidence of industrial history is found in the southern reaches, where the Hopkins Mine and various Prospect sites are marked near the Mineral and Missoula County line. From the heights of Patricks Knob Lookout down to the river banks, the map details a region where tourism at the springs meets a legacy of mountain mining.
