About this map

The Blackfoot River carves through this Missoula County landscape, serving as a primary corridor for both geography and transit. Settlement is concentrated along the riverbanks at McNamara and Twin Creeks, where the McNamara Bridge provides a vital crossing near Johnsrud Park. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like Sunflower Mtn to the northeast and Diamond Mtn to the south, with much of the northern and central area managed as part of the Lolo National Forest.

Evidence of local geography is preserved in named draws and gulches, including Whiskey Gulch, Elk Draw, and Dog Monument Draw. The map also records the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, with roads like Gold Creek Rd and Bear Creek Rd winding through the timberland. From the shoreline of Lockwood Lake to the open ground of Sheep Flats, the document captures the intersection of public forest management and riverside habitation.
