About this map

Thompson River and its various tributaries define the drainage patterns of this Montana landscape in 2011. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, anchored by Bar Z Peak in the north and the deep incision of Boulder Gulch to the south. The hydrological network is detailed, showing the paths of Murr Creek and the North Fork Murr Creek as they feed into the larger system alongside Shroder Creek.

Human activity is represented by the small settlement of Pinehill and a network of access ways including Thompson River Rd and Acm Rd. The map illustrates a predominantly natural environment with limited residential development, typical of the managed forest and mountainous regions of Flathead County. Researchers can trace the watercourses down to Big Rock Creek, observing how topographic contours dictate the movement of both water and the local road network through the mountain passes.
