 County, MT 



Dear Mr. and Mrs. Morris, Mr. Holtrop, and Mr. Graham: 



Attached is a copy of the report by our staff hydrogeologist, Teresa Kinley, regarding Morris Island in 

 Sections 22 and 27, T28N, R21W, MPM. This review indicates that the State does not claim ownership to this 

 island. 



The Department continues to review the other landforms of concern submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Morris, 

 Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, and Flathead National Forest. We appreciate your patience 

 and your assistance in providing information and resources pertinent to this review process. If you have any 

 questions, please contact me at (406) 444-2074. 



Sincerely,
