2017 Map of Stark South

About this map

Cyr sits along the southern bend of the Clark Fork river, marking a point of valley settlement within the expansive timberlands of the Lolo National Forest. This section of the Mineral and Missoula County border is defined by significant elevation changes, rising from the river floor toward the towering Stark Mtn and the prominent Ninemile Divide. The landscape is etched with deep drainages such as Bear Cr, Duff Cr, and Freezeout Gulch, reflecting the complex topography of the Bitterroot range. Infrastructure is concentrated near the water, with the Cyr Bridge and Clark Fork River Bridge providing essential crossings for Old Hwy 10 W and the modern interstate corridor. Higher elevations are dominated by administrative and fire-management landmarks like Tower 12 and Tower 11, which oversee the vast stands of the Lolo National Forest.
