About this map

Bigfork sits at the northern terminus of Flathead Lake, where the Swan River empties into the bay, anchoring a landscape of glacial lakes and residential development. This 2011 survey documents the dense concentration of recreational and civic landmarks along the shoreline, including Wayfarers Campground and the Swan River Bridge. The map details a transition from the lakeside community to the more rural interior settlements like Ferndale and Holt.

Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds, such as Lonepine Cemetery and the Bethany Lutheran Cemetery, which speak to the area's established history. The interior terrain is marked by significant water bodies like Echo Lake and Johnson Lake, while the McCaffery Lookout Tower provides a point of elevation overlooking the complex network of local roads such as Big Fork Stage Rd and Swan Hill Dr.
