2017 Map of Sloan

About this map

The Sloan settlement and the Sloan Bridge serve as focal points along the meandering Flathead River as it winds through northwestern Montana. This area is defined by the significant hydraulic engineering of the Moiese valley, where the Moiese A Canal and Hillside Ditch facilitate irrigation across the landscape south of the Moiese Hills. The river itself creates dramatic geographic features including the Big Bend and The Oxbow, illustrating the natural hydrological evolution of the region. Local travel is marked by a network of rural routes such as Sloan Rd, Moiese Valley Rd, and Schoolhouse Ln, which connect agricultural homesteads and remote water features like the Hillside Reservoir. The map also captures the confluence where the Little Bitterroot River meets the larger drainage system, highlighting the area's importance as a watershed.
