2017 Map of Rexford

About this map

Lake Koocanusa dominates the central corridor of this Lincoln County survey, illustrating the modern geography of the Kootenai River valley north of the Libby Dam. To the east, the Tobacco Plains provide a relatively level contrast to the rising Purcell Mountains on the western flank. The settlement of Rexford sits along the eastern shore, serving as a gateway to the extensive Kootenai National Forest lands that surround the basin. Hikers and researchers can trace the path of the Pacific NW National Scenic Trail as it winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map also documents numerous smaller water bodies, such as Alkali Lake and Sophie Lake, alongside family-named landmarks like Olsen Hill and Hunter Point, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to timber and outdoor recreation.
