2020 Map of Plains

About this map

The town of Plains occupies a strategic bend in the Clark Fork river, serving as a gateway between the valley floor and the surrounding timberlands of the Lolo National Forest. This 2020 survey illustrates the community's established infrastructure, where the Montana Rail Link parallels the river and the local grid expands toward the Plains Airport. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the riparian wetlands of Pardee Slough and Lynch Cr to the high ridges of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains. Notable elevation points include Combest Peak and Big Horn Bluff, while numerous drainages such as Graham Gulch and Miller Cr carve through the forested terrain. For those researching family history, both the Plains Cem and Lynch Cem are clearly marked on the outskirts of the settlement, offering essential locations for genealogical study within Sanders County.
