About this map

The Blackfoot River flows through this Missoula County landscape, serving as a primary corridor for early settlement and transportation. Near its banks, the community of McNamara and the McNamara Bridge mark a historical crossing point, while Twin Creeks sits at the junction of several drainage systems. The map illustrates a complex network of forest and mountain roads like Gold Creek Rd and Twin Creek Rd that navigate the high elevations of Sunflower Mountain and Diamond Mtn.

Much of the northern terrain is managed as part of the Lolo National Forest, where topography is defined by features like Whiskey Gulch and Elk Draw. Along the river's path, recreational and local landmarks such as Johnsrud Park and Daigles Eddy indicate the area's transition into a destination for river access. To the southeast, the open terrain of Camas Prairie provides a distinct contrast to the timbered slopes that dominate the western half of the quadrangle.
