2011 Map of Seeley Lake West

About this map

Seeley Lake and Placid Lake dominate this high-country landscape in Missoula County, where the Clearwater River connects a network of glacial lakes and mountain streams. By the early 21st century, the area had become a well-established recreational hub, evidenced by the presence of Tamaracks Resort, Camp Paxson, and several organized sites like River Point Campground and Seeley Lake Campground. A complex network of forest access roads, including W Side Bypass Rd and Jocko Rd, winds through the timbered terrain toward the Double Arrow Lookout. Beyond the main lakes, smaller water bodies like Hidden Lake and Tuppers Lake are tucked into the drainages of Archibald Creek and Placid Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the shorelines and topography before significant modern development, showing the proximity of the Jocko Park boundary to the western lake basins.
