2014 Map of Seeley Lake West

About this map

Seeley Lake and the surrounding wilderness of the Lolo National Forest dominate this landscape in Missoula County. The settlement at the northern edge of the lake serves as a focal point for a region defined by its complex hydrology, where the Clearwater River feeds through a chain of lakes including Placid Lake and the smaller Tupper Lake. The terrain is marked by an extensive network of forest roads and trails, such as Archibald Cr Loop and Boy Scout Rd, which provide access to more remote water bodies like Hidden Lake. Drainage patterns from Placid Cr and Finley Cr illustrate the watershed of the Lolo National Forest, while specific family-named landmarks like Cahoon Ranch Rd offer clues to the historical land use and early ranching boundaries that persist within the federal forest lands.
