About this map

Superior serves as the focal point of this mid-1980s survey, situated along the northern banks of the Clark Fork river. The settlement is characterized by its proximity to vital infrastructure, including a substation and a trailer park on the eastern edge of town. To the northwest, the small community of La Vista sits near the confluence of Keystone Creek and the river, marking a distinct pocket of development against the massive backdrop of the Lolo National Forest.

The landscape is deeply etched by numerous gulches such as Pardee Gulch and Kelly Gulch, which drain the surrounding highlands toward the river valley. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Thompson Peak and Chimney Rock. Evidence of resource exploration is sparse but present, noted by a prospect located south of Dry Creek, while the expansive forest boundaries dominate the southern and western portions of the quadrangle.
