2017 Map of Victor

About this map

Victor serves as the primary settlement on this landscape, positioned along the eastern edge where the valley floor meets the Bitterroot River. This 2017 study illustrates the transition from the irrigated plains of Poverty Flat and Indian Prairie to the steep eastern slopes of the Bitterroot National Forest. The map captures a detailed network of rural residential expansion and agricultural infrastructure, particularly visible in the complex irrigation and drainage of Sweathouse Cr, Fred Burr Creek, and Little Smith Cr. Local history is embedded in the geography through names like Curlew Mine Rd and Curlew Orchard Rd, reflecting the area's legacy of extraction and orchard culture. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Dineen Hill and access points such as Saint Marys Peak Rd, while the Victor Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research at the town's edge.
