About this map

The Clark Fork river carves through this section of the Lolo National Forest, where the mountain town of Superior serves as a central hub for the surrounding gulches and peaks. The local landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, rising from the riverbanks to landmarks such as Thompson Peak and Chimney Rock. Significant local history is anchored at the Superior Cem and the settlement of Riverbend, which sit along the established corridors of Mullan Rd W and the interstate.

Beyond the valley floor, the map details a complex network of drainage and terrain features including Murphy Cr, Bouchard Lake, and high-elevation clearings like Pardee Flat. The numerous named gulches, such as Idaho Gulch and Bear Gulch, indicate a history of land use and exploration in these steep drainages, while several forest service roads like Cedar Creek Rd provide access to the deep interior of the forest sections.
