About this map

Lolo National Forest dominates this section of Missoula County, where the landscape is defined by the high drainage basins of the Clearwater River system. In the northeast, Placid Lake serves as a primary water feature, fed by Placid Cr and Boles Cr. The terrain rises sharply toward the south and west, reaching a significant summit at Belmont Point and along the spine of Game Ridge.

A network of forest roads, including Placid Lake Rd and Belmont Creek Rd, provides access to these timberlands and remote water bodies like Spook Lake. The distribution of these routes and the naming of features such as Lost Horse Cr and Burnt Cr reflect a landscape managed for conservation and recreation in the early twenty-first century, preserving the hydrological patterns of the Blanchard Cr and Finley Cr watersheds.
