Terrain relief

904

m spread (p95−p5, ~20–40 km window)

The county center sits at about 2,156 m above sea level. Elevation across the sampled window spreads 904 m — mountainous terrain by our banding (flat <30 m · gently rolling 30–100 m · hilly 100–300 m · mountainous >300 m). These are county-scale context, not parcel measurements — a specific parcel gets its own slope, flood and usable-acreage readings when analyzed.

Elevation measured 2026-07-21 from the AWS Terrain Tiles (terrarium encoding, z10).

Data available for Missoula County

• Owner of record, parcel number, assessed value and the county's parcel boundary — Montana publishes these as open data (Montana State Library — MSDI Framework Parcels). LandBenchmark reads them directly.
• Legal description — township, range and section from the BLM Public Land Survey System.
• FEMA flood zones, wetlands, soil survey and NCCPI soil productivity — the federal layers, all free and all available here.
• 56 measured signals from satellite imagery and public records — slope and usable acreage, observed surface water, vegetation trend, wildfire and seismic hazard, access and neighboring land use. Each one cites its method, its source, and the date it was observed.

LandBenchmark has no listings and does not know what is for sale in Missoula County. It analyses a parcel you point it at. It is an automated Phase-1 desk screen, not a survey, a flood determination, or a substitute for on-site inspection.
