About this map

Clark Fork winds through the northern portion of this landscape, carving a corridor for transportation and trade through the mountains of Lolo National Forest. This topography necessitated engineering feats for the regional rail network, evidenced by the Nimrod Tunnels and Beavertail Tunnel, which allowed passage through the high country. The small settlement of Ravenna serves as a central point in this transition zone between the river valley and the John Long Mountains.

South of the river, the terrain rises sharply into a series of summits and named drainages, including Burnt Mtn and Strawberry Mtn. Local industry and transit are grounded in a network of roads such as Gillispie Sliderock Rd and Moose River Rd, which navigate between prominent saddles and gulches like Whitetail Saddle and McFarland Gulch. These features highlight the area's history as a rugged crossroads for forest management and mining interests.
