About this map

The Stillwater River winds through the western portion of this terrain, defining a drainage system that feeds into numerous smaller bodies of water like Bootjack Lake and Murray Lake. This 1994 revision of the Flathead County landscape shows the dense intersection of state and federal lands, specifically the Stillwater State Forest and Flathead National Forest. The eastern edge is dominated by the sprawling waters of Whitefish Lake, featuring named landmarks such as Mackinaw Point and Hell Roaring Point.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is concentrated along the Burlington Northern railroad line, which skirts the mountains and passes through the Vista Tunnel. Small clearings and settlements like Round Prairie and Twin Bridges provide glimpses into the local land use of the mid-1990s, while numerous mountain lakes, including the eponymous Beaver Lake, emphasize the area's complex glacial topography.
