2024 Map of Northwest Missoula

About this map

The Missoula Montana Airport and its surrounding aviation-industrial corridor dominate the central valley of this 2024 landscape, highlighting the modern infrastructure of Missoula. To the north and east, the terrain transitions into the forested slopes of the Lolo National Forest and the rugged drainage of Grant Creek, while the valley floor is defined by a sophisticated system of irrigation features like the Grass Valley French Ditch and Flynn Lowney Ditch. These waterways underscore the enduring agricultural heritage of the region alongside burgeoning residential developments. Genealogists will find the eastern portion of the map particularly significant, as it clearly delineates several major burial sites, including Missoula Cem, New Saint Mary Cem, and Sunset Memorial Gardens. Small named settlements like De Smet and Nagos appear along the transport routes, reflecting the local settlement patterns that have expanded outward from the city center.
