About this map

The University of Montana campus and the eastern residential districts of Missoula anchor this late-twentieth-century landscape, where the urban grid gives way to the steep climbs of Mount Sentinel and Mount Jumbo. The Clark Fork winds through the prominent Hellgate Canyon, serving as a primary corridor for transportation and industry. To the east, the industrial character of the era is evident at Milltown, site of the Milltown Dam and its reservoir, Tunnel Lake.

South of the city, the map transitions into the Lolo National Forest, revealing a complex network of drainage basins like Pattee Canyon Creek and Miller Creek. This area includes the Pattee Canyon Recreation Area, featuring the Nat Rec Tr and Crazy Canyon Trail. Educational and civic landmarks, from Prescott Sch to the Courthouse, provide essential data for those tracing the development of local neighborhoods and public infrastructure at the close of the century.
