About this map

Lolo National Forest encompasses the high alpine terrain shown in this 2020 survey, dominated by a series of prominent summits and glacial lake basins. Stuart Peak and McLeod Peak anchor the southern and northern reaches of the map, respectively, while the western edge is defined by the recreation facilities at Missoula Snow Bowl. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including Finley Lakes, Sanders Lake, and the remote Lake Sa-ol-Sooth tucked beneath the northern ridges.

Historical land divisions and contemporary resource management are reflected in the township and range boundaries and the presence of named basins like Grant Creek Basin. For those interested in the drainage patterns of the region, the map traces the headwaters of numerous creeks such as McClure Cr, Butler Cr, and the long reach of Rattlesnake Cr to the east. Access to these higher elevations is noted via Snow Bowl RD and the route leading to Point Six, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure supporting this mountainous corner of Missoula County.
