2011 Map of Ravenna

About this map

The Clark Fork river carves a critical corridor through the western Montana mountains, defining the geography of the small settlements at Ravenna and Bonita. This topography is shaped by substantial engineering feats, most notably the Beavertail Tunnel and the Nimrod Tunnels which facilitate passage through the steep river valley. The landscape transitions from the river bottom to high peaks like Strawberry Mountain and Golden Mountain, with numerous saddles and gulches such as Whitetail Saddle and McFarland Gulch branching off the main drainage. Local transportation is anchored by Beavertail Rd and Cramer Creek Rd, which provide access to more remote recreation areas including the Beavertail Hill Campground. The map reveals a complex network of forest roads and small tributaries like Gillispie Creek and North Fork Brewster Creek that drain the high country, highlighting the area's mix of transit-oriented valley life and rugged highland terrain.
