About this map

Flathead National Forest land dominates this 2017 survey, where the glacial topography of northwestern Montana is defined by a dense network of mountain lakes and the northern reaches of Whitefish Lake. The area's transportation and settlement history is marked by the presence of Vista, which sits near the Vista Tunnel and Whitefish Lake's western shoreline. The landscape transitions from the higher elevations of Lion Mtn and Hell Roaring Point down into the broader Flathead Valley to the south.

Modern recreational and residential development is evident in the naming of complex trail and road systems like the Angry Beaver Lollipop and Inspiration Dr, while the historic agrarian character persists at Round Prairie. Smaller water bodies like Beaver Lake, Murray Lake, and Skyles Lake are scattered throughout the forested terrain, often connected by small waterways like Smith Cr and Beaver Cr.
