2020 Map of Lake Inez

About this map

Lake Inez and Lake Alva anchor this portion of the Lolo National Forest in Missoula County. The landscape is defined by the Clearwater River corridor, which connects a series of glacial lakes including Rainy Lake and the smaller Colt Lake to the west. This 2020 survey reveals a complex network of forest access routes such as Morrell-Clearwater Rd and Rice Ridge Rd, tracing the drainage basins between Richmond Peak and the high elevations of the Swan Range. The distribution of residential roads like Beargrass Ln and Loon Ln near the shoreline of Lake Inez indicates localized development within the protected timberlands. The map provides a detailed view of the headwaters for several tributaries, including the E Fork Clearwater River and Findell Cr, which descend from the surrounding ridges to feed the valley's primary waterway.
