About this map

Ravalli sits at the confluence of the Jocko River and Copper Creek, serving as a focal point in a landscape defined by significant water management and rugged topography. The Lower Jocko Canal traces the southern slopes, while the northern reaches are dominated by Mission Creek and the unique geological formation of the Ravalli Potholes. Transportation history is etched into the terrain through the presence of the Old Freight Rd, which once connected the valley's disparate settlements and basins.

Upland features such as Red Sleep Mountain, Headquarters Ridge, and Telephone Mountain rise above numerous drainages like Sabine Creek and Pistol Creek. The naming conventions throughout the area, including Turkeywoman Gulch and Red Mans Ridge, reflect a complex local heritage tied to the land. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, from the Bison Range Rd to the various draws and passes that navigate the mountain gaps.
