Roadless Areas Established on Twelve Indian Reservations
The Interior Department ordered roadless areas set aside on twelve Indian reservations including Montana’s Flathead. The plan preserves wilderness values while allowing Indians to guide camping and pack trips for livelihood, and it limits motor routes to protect fire safety and resources. The Mission range in Montana will cover about 125,000 acres, excluding motorized routes and vehicle support roads.
