About this map

Thompson Falls serves as the hub of activity in this mountain valley where the Clark Fork is harnessed by the Thompson Falls Dam. The town's institutional infrastructure is well-defined, showing both a High Sch and Jr High Sch, a local Cem, and the Thompson Falls Work Center. Transportation and utility networks are central to the landscape, with the Thompson Falls Airport situated on a flat bench above the river, while a Power Plant and Substation stand near the Noxon Res shoreline.

The surrounding terrain is dominated by the steep slopes of the Lolo National Forest, reaching up to Clark Mountain and Elk Point. Extensive public lands are further marked by the Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks Wildlife Management Area, which borders the Thompson Falls Reservoir. This 1990s-era data highlights the intersection of industrial power generation and recreational forest management, including the Thompson Falls Fitness Trail and various communication towers on the high ridges.
