About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates the landscape of this Mineral County region, where the Clark Fork river carves a significant corridor through the northern mountains. This 2014 survey documents a rugged network of drainage systems and high-elevation landmarks, including Mt Baldy, Sheep Mtn, and Blacktail Mtn. The transport and industrial history of the area is centered along the river valley, where Interstate 90 parallels the water, and local routes like Sloway Gulch Rd and Southside Rd provide access to the interior.

Local resource extraction is evidenced by the Cordilleran Mine located near Dry Cr, while the southwestern corner features the high-altitude Wilson Lake and Lost Meadows. The map also captures the intricate system of named gulches and creeks, such as Ann Arbor Gulch and Thompson Cr, which define the topography between the peaks. This data is essential for understanding the modern boundary of the national forest and the surviving geographic markers of the t17n r27w and t16n r28w townships.
