About this map

Superior serves as the focal point of this Mineral County landscape, situated along the banks of the Clark Fork river. The town's grid extends toward Riverbend to the southeast, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a complex network of gulches and mountain peaks. Much of the southern and eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Lolo National Forest, where the topography rises sharply toward Thompson Peak and the distinctive Chimney Rock.

Transport corridors like Old US Hwy 10 and Mullen Rd follow the natural path of the river valley, mirroring the historical movement through this mountainous region. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Superior Cem located north of the town center. The map also captures the transition from settled valleys to the timbered reaches of the forest, marked by features such as Oregon Gulch and the winding Cedar Cr.
