West Kootenai and Rexford anchor the western and eastern shores of Lake Koocanusa in this contemporary overview of the Montana borderlands. The vast reservoir, created by the damming of the Kootenai River, dominates the central valley, flanked by the Purcell Mountains to the west and the Tobacco Plains to the east. The landscape is a study in forest management and land use within the Kootenai National Forest, defined by an extensive network of forestry roads such as Natl Forest Develop Road 7212 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 92 Rd. The Tobacco River feeds into the lake near the modern townsite of Rexford, while the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trl traverses the southern ridges. Small glacial features like Swisher Lake, Tooley Lake, and Grob Lake dot the plateau, marking the complex topography of the Kootenai Flats.
