About this map

Stillwater State Forest and the Flathead National Forest dominate this northwest Montana landscape, where timbered slopes meet a dense network of alpine lakes and glacial drainages. The Burlington Northern railroad serves as the primary industrial artery, following the westward bend of the Stillwater River before piercing the terrain at the Vista Tunnel. This corridor connects small trackside points like Benson and Vista with the broader regional economy.

Waterscapes define the eastern half of the survey, from the expansive Whitefish Lake with its named points like Hell Roaring Point and Inez Point, to smaller interior basins such as Beaver Lake, Murray Lake, and Skyles Lake. The land rises toward Lion Mountain in the south, while the lowlands near Twin Bridges show evidence of local resource extraction at a Gravel Pit and a designated Mine near the river bend, reflecting the dual nature of the region's wilderness and working-land heritage.
