About this map

Stevensville serves as the focal point of this Bitterroot Valley survey, situated where the Burlington Northern railroad and the Lewis and Clark Trail parallel the winding Bitterroot River. The town's historical foundations are evident at the Fort Owen (Historical Site) and St Marys Ch, reflecting the early pioneer and mission heritage of Ravalli Co. Local genealogy is anchored by the St Marys Cem and Maplewood Cem on the town's southern edge.

The landscape transitions from the river bottomlands of the Ravalli National Wildlife Refuge to the elevated terrain of North Bench. Extensive irrigation infrastructure, including the East Side Supply Ditch and the Bitterroot Irrigation Dist Canal, underscores the importance of water management in this agricultural corridor. To the west, the map reaches into the Bitterroot National Forest, marked by drainage points like Bass Creek and Sweeney Creek.
