About this map

The Flathead Indian Reservation dominates this mountainous landscape, where the confluence of several vital water systems and early transport routes define the area. The northern portion of the map centers on the Jocko River and its accompanying Jocko Spring, bordered by the modern Burlington Northern tracks and a visible Old Railroad Grade. This transport corridor follows the natural passage between the high peaks of the reservation and the Lolo National Forest to the south.

Industrial and recreational activities are etched into the terrain, including a marked Mine on the western slopes and a Campground near East Fork Valley Creek. The high ridge of the Divide serves as a prominent physical and jurisdictional marker, separating watersheds such as Mill Creek and Burnt Point Creek. The complex network of Loop Road and various unnamed trails highlights the remote yet managed nature of this Montana wilderness in the mid-1980s.
