About this map

The Clark Fork river serves as the primary corridor for movement and settlement through this portion of Mineral County, Montana. The small communities of Cyr and Stark anchor the northern and southern reaches of the map, connected by a network of canyon roads like Old Hwy 10 W. Significant crossings, including the Cyr Bridge and the Clark Fork River Bridge, illustrate the infrastructure required to navigate the river's winding path through the canyon floor.

Upland from the river, the landscape is defined by the steep rises of Ninemile Divide and the prominent Stark Mountain. Resource management and wildfire observation are evident at the Stark Mountain Lookout, while the drainage network of Moose Creek, Cedar Creek, and South Fork Nemote Creek carves deep into the surrounding ridges. Gulches such as Sawmill Gulch and Freezeout Gulch indicate a history of local industry and rugged backcountry navigation that persists in the modern era.
