Geography

West Kootenai is in northern Lincoln County on the west side of Lake Koocanusa, a large reservoir on the Kootenai River. The community is within the Kootenai National Forest. The northern boundary of the CDP is the Canada–United States border, with the Regional District of East Kootenay, British Columbia, to the north. There is no border crossing through West Kootenai; road access is from the south via West Kootenai Road. The city of Eureka, Montana, 11 miles (18 km) to the southeast as the crow flies, is 30 miles (48 km) distant by road.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the West Kootenai CDP has a total area of 16.1 square miles (41.8 km2), of which 16.1 square miles (41.6 km2) are land and 0.1 square miles (0.2 km2), or 0.46%, are water.[3]

gollark: My *previous* phone became unusable due to not actually holding in μUSB cables, preventing me from charging it. Though I think that's partly because the port was mildly out of spec.
gollark: Also, my phone (~2 years old) has a USB-C port which cables randomly come loose from now.
gollark: I'd prefer the ability to swap out batteries over waterproofing.
gollark: I have a long wishlist for phones, but I think the most important thing is actual replaceable parts.
gollark: It's weird, because back in 2017 or so I think most phones, or at least a lot of them, had removable batteries. Now basically none do.
