About this map

The Jocko River flows through the southern portion of this landscape, where the settlement of Ravalli sits at the junction of modern transit and older paths. To the north, the terrain rises into significant elevations including Red Sleep Mtn and Telephone Mtn, separated by Getaway Pass. The intricate drainage network of Mission Creek, Post Creek, and Sabine Creek defines the northern flats, where local names like Dublin Gulch and Alexander Basin reflect the early ranching and homesteading geography of Lake and Sanders counties.

Water management is a central theme in the valley, evidenced by the Lower Jocko Canal and the distinctive Ravalli Potholes found near the river. Transportation history is visible through the presence of the Old Freight Rd, which runs north-to-south along the eastern ridges. The map also documents named landmarks such as Indian Springs and Turkeywoman Gulch, providing specific points of reference for genealogists and researchers tracking land use and family holdings across these high ridges and irrigated basins.
