2014 Map of Lake Inez

About this map

Lake Inez and Lake Alva anchor this montane landscape in Missoula County, where the Clearwater River connects a chain of glacial waters. The map reveals a complex interface between the Flathead National Forest and the Lolo National Forest, with the high peaks of the Swan Range defining the eastern horizon. Timber and forest management history is etched into the terrain through a network of specialized access routes like Old Richmond Rd, Colt Creek Rd, and the Clearwater Lake Loop Rd. Smaller water bodies, including Rainy Lake and Marshall Lake, are fed by mountain drainages such as Colt Cr and Richmond Cr. The area is characterized by its high-elevation geography, reaching its peak at Richmond Peak near the eastern boundary, and maintaining isolated points like Summit Springs and Bertha Cr.
