About this map

Ravalli sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the Jocko River and the Lower Jocko Canal meet the mountain foothills. The terrain transitions from the water-rich meadows of Post Creek and Mission Creek in the north to high-elevation peaks such as Red Sleep Mtn, Telephone Mtn, and Wild Horse Mtn. This intersection of major watercourses and sharp ridges creates a complex network of natural corridors, illustrated by the presence of Getaway Pass and Elk Pass.

Evidence of early transport and land use is found in the various gulches and draws that break the mountain ridges, including Dublin Gulch and Turkeywoman Gulch. The map identifies specific landmarks like the Ravalli Potholes and Indian Springs, which provide insight into the geological character of the Lake County and Sanders County border. Historically significant ridges such as Headquarters Ridge and Red Mans Ridge define the local topography, overlooking the drainage basins of Sabine Cr and Trisky Creek.
