Missoula's population was 64,081; making Missoula, Montana the second largest city in Montana. The 2009 census estimate put the population of Missoula County at 108,623. Missoula is the second largest media market in the state. Local news sources include the Missoulian and the Missoula Independent. Missoula was recently ranked number 10 in CNN Money's list of the best places to launch small businesses. It is also known for being one of the most politically liberal cities in the state. Missoula is the home of the University of Montana, and the birthplace of Jeannette Rankin (1880–1973), the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress. Missoula is the Principal city of the Missoula Metropolitan area. Missoula is also home to 2 semi-pro teams that include the Missoula Osprey, and the Missoula Phoenix. Missoula also has a thriving Downtown district that has been the host to numerous annual events. Missoula's nickname is the Garden City for its vast majority of trees and mountains. Missoula is located at an altitude of 3,209 feet. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 23.9 square miles, of which 23.8 square miles is land and 0.1 square miles (0.46%) is water.

The Ranch Brokers | (307) 690-5425 | 610 S Hwy 93 | Hamilton, MT 59840 | www.TheRanchBrokers.com | [email protected] Page 2 of 15 Polson, Montana is 25 miles north of the ranch. Polson lies in a natural amphitheater at the south end of Flathead Lake in Northwest Montana located on the Flathead Indian Reservation. This charming lakeshore community is the trading center for one of most fertile farming areas in Montana. This prime cherry growing region is home to dozens of orchards, which Polson celebrates with an annual Cherry Festival. The broad, sweeping Mission Valley south of Polson is bordered by the rugged, snow-capped Mission Mountains. The Flathead River that flows through Polson features whitewater rafting and Kerr Dam. Just south of Ronan, visitors can see large herds of bison, elk, deer, antelope and barn sheep at the National Bison Range at Moiese. Bird watchers will enjoy the Ninepipes and Pablo Wildlife Refuges. Flathead Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake in the western part of the contiguous United States. With a surface area of about 191.5 sq miles, it is slightly larger than that of Lake Tahoe. Flathead Lake is 27.3 miles long and up to 15.5 miles wide. Its known maximum depth is 370.7 feet, making it deeper than the average depths of the Yellow Sea and the Persian Gulf. The lake was raised 10 ft by Kerr Dam. It is one of the cleanest in the populated world for its size and type. Flathead Lake is 30 miles southwest of Glacier National Park and is flanked by two scenic highways, which wind along its curving shoreline. On the west side is U.S. Route 93, and on the east, is Route 35. The lake is bordered on its eastern shore by the Mission Mountains and on the west by the Salish Mountains. The Flathead valley was formed by the glacial damming of the Flathead River and sustains a remarkably mild climate for a region located this far north and inland; the Pacific Ocean is almost 400 miles to the west. The mild climate allows for cherry orchards on the east shore and vineyards for wine production on the west shore. There are also apple, pear and plum orchards around the lake as well as vegetable, hay, honey, nursery tree, Christmas tree, sod/turf and wheat production bordering or near the lake.

Hats off to my predecessor, District Ranger Mike Muñoz from the Rocky Mountain District. High praise to him for playing the coordination role between the Hungry Horse/Glacier View, Lincoln, Seeley Lake, Spotted Bear and Swan Lake Ranger Districts that are charged with stewarding this special place.
