2024 Map of Bigfork

About this map

Bigfork sits at the northeastern corner of Flathead Lake, where the waters of the Swan River enter Bigfork Harbor. This modern survey documents the interface between the dense residential development around Woods Bay and the preserved timberlands of the Flathead National Forest. Further north, the landscape is defined by a cluster of glacial lakes including Echo Lake, Abbot Lake, and Peterson Lake, which surround Deer Island. The area preserves several significant local history markers, from the Lone Pine Cem near the Flathead Valley to the Bethany Lutheran Cem located north of the village. The eastern half of the map transitions into the rising terrain of Ponderosa Ridge and the Ferndale community, where the Ferndale Airfield serves the local aviation needs of the valley.
