About this map

The Clark Fork river carves a deep path through this portion of the Lolo National Forest, where the small settlement of Cyr sits along the southern bank. This rugged corridor in western Montana is defined by sharp elevation changes, climbing from the river basin toward prominent peaks like Stark Mtn and the Ninemile Divide. The landscape is etched with numerous drainages, including Freezeout Gulch, Dry Gulch, and Sawmill Gulch, reflecting the complex hydrology of the Mineral and Missoula county border.

Transport and access are primarily managed through a network of Forest Service roads, such as Sheridan Cr Rd No 9912 and S Fork Nemote. Significant infrastructure crossings are noted at the Cyr Bridge and the Clark Fork River Bridge, which provide essential links across the water. The map detail highlights the intersection of public land management and local geography, preserving the nomenclature of numerous seasonal creeks like Alice Cr and Bear Cr.
