About this map

The Flathead Indian Reservation meets the eastern boundary of the Lolo National Forest in this 1999 revision of the Sanders County landscape. The terrain is defined by the transition from the high ridges of the national forest down into the Camas Prairie Basin, where water resources like Camas Creek and Green Springs become central to the geography.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites, including the Camas Prairie Cem and the Hoministo Cem, which are situated along the lower slopes and valley floor. The map also records the infrastructure of the era, such as the Camas Substation and various pipelines. Numerous water sources, including Sunrise Spring, Clear Spring, and Flowing Wells Spring, illustrate the hydrologic character of the basin near the turn of the millennium.
