    GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE EAST BAY 7.5’ QUADRANGLE NORTHWEST MONTANA Michael H. Hofmann and Marc S. Hendrix Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology Open File Report MBMG 496 2004 This report has been reviewed for conformity with Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology’s technical and editorial standards. Partial support has been provided by the EDMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the U. S. Geological Survey under Contract Number 02HQAG0096. GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE EAST BAY 7.5’ QUADRANGLE NORTHWEST MONTANA Michael H. Hofmann and Marc S. Hendrix Introduction This project focused on mapping the distribution of Pleistocene and Holocene sediments along the northeastern Mission Valley in western Montana (USGS East Bay 7.5’ quadrangle). Holocene and Pleistocene sediments are most common in the area south of Flathead Lake, whereas Precambrian rocks of the Belt Supergroup crop out in the easternmost part of the map area. Pleistocene sediments in the map area are dominated by till and glacial outwash related to advances of the Flathead Lobe of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet and advances of smaller alpine glaciers flowing down west-facing valleys of the Mission Range. Pleistocene sediments also include sub-lacustrine sediments related to glacial Lake Missoula. Holocene sediments in the map area consist of a complex suite of eolian, alluvial, fluvial, and colluvial sediments. Early studies of Pleistocene deposits from the Mission Valley describe evidence for three major advances of the Flathead lobe of the Cordilleran ice sheet, including at least one major advance to the southern part of the Mission Valley, about 45 km south of the mapping area (Elrod, 1903; Davis, 1920; Nobles, 1952; Alden, 1953; Richmond and others, 1965; Richmond, 1986; Ostenaa and others, 1990).

Fish and Wildlife Service Branch of Policy and Planning PO Box 25486 Denver, CO 80225-04865 Please accept the following comments submitted by the Flathead Lakers for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Bison Range Complex Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) development. The Flathead Lakers is a nonprofit, grassroots organization. Our organization was founded in 1958 and currently has over 1,500 members. We work to protect water quality in Flathead Lake and its watershed through education, advocacy and stewardship projects. Our beautiful lakes, rivers and streams, and the fish and wildlife that depend on them are part of what makes the Flathead such a special place and are a large part of its identity. The quality of the environment contributes to our quality of life and our economy. In fact, our quality natural environment has become a competitive advantage and a major force driving economic growth in Flathead County. The Flathead Lakers initiated the collaborative Critical Lands Project in 1999 to address concerns that rapid growth and development would damage lands and waters critical to maintaining the quality of Flathead Lake and its tributaries and the area’s quality of life. The Flathead Lakers coordinate the resulting partnership, the Flathead River to Lake Initiative (R2L), which includes representatives from federal, tribal, state, and local resource management agencies, land trusts, conservation groups and landowners.

Montana State College and United States Department of Agriculture cooperating. Distributed in furtherance of Acts of Congress, May 8 and June 30, 1914. TRIPPET Facts About Flathead County'5 Agriculture and Suggestions to Prospective Farmers (Prepared jointly by W.W. Mauritson, Flathead County Agent and H. R. Stucky, Extension Economist, Montana Extension Service) This circular is intended to give prospective farmers brief in­ formation regarding farming in Flathead County and to offer some suggestions about things to be considered in buying or renting a farm. The reader will find that soils, topography and climate vary considerably from area to area. For that reason a personal study and investigation should be made before purchasing or leasing land. The County Extension Agent, the Vocational Agricultural Instructor of Flathead County High School and the Soil Conserva­ tion Service will gladly furnish more detailed information upon request. Agricultural Background The first white visitors to the area now known as Flathead County were the trappers and fur traders. These were followed by settlers from Idaho and California who started farming and raising livestock. The first sod is reported to have been broken with oxen in the late 1880's. Because of a lack of transportation, these early settlers produced only enough farm products for home use and the local market.
