About this map

Missoula and its northeastern expansion are defined by the convergence of steep canyon topography and the Clark Fork river valley in this 2017 survey. The transition from urban streets to wilderness is immediate, with the neighborhoods of East Missoula and West Riverside tucked along the river corridor below the prominent mass of Mt Jumbo. The northern half of the map is dominated by the Lolo National Forest, where labels like Wallman Trail and Rattlesnake Cr trace the recreational and watershed value of the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area.

Genealogists and local historians can locate Saint Mary Cems on the western edge near Waterworks Hill, while the southeastern corner focuses on the industrial and residential pockets of Bonner-West Riverside and Pinegrove. The intricate network of gulches, including Sawmill Gulch and Danny O'Brien Gulch, reveals how the rugged terrain of Woody Mtn has shaped the limits of local development and transportation routes like the Old Marshall Grade Rd.
