About this map

Tarkio and the Longview Ranch occupy the lowlands along the Clark Fork river, where the valley floor provides a rare break in the surrounding peaks of the Lolo National Forest. The geography is defined by deep drainages and high ridges, notably the Ninemile Divide and Cobden Peak to the north. These summits overlook a network of watercourses including Miller Creek and Nemote Creek, which carve out steep-walled features like Micayune Gulch and Malley Gulch.

Tracing the historical paths of the region, the map reveals early infrastructure and burial sites such as the Tarkio Cem and Fish Creek Cem. Travel through this part of Mineral County follows the river canyon, with routes like Tarkio Loop and Rivulet Rd providing access to remote interior points. Named peaks such as Graham Mountain and Martel Mountain stand as significant landmarks for those studying the rugged interior of the forest.
