About this map

Flathead Lake dominates this western Montana landscape, where the rugged eastern shoreline meets the deep waters of the lake. Along the coast, settlements like Bear Dance and Finley Point are connected by a network of local roads including MT-35 and Finley Point Rd. The map illustrates the complex geography of the shoreline, defined by numerous indentations such as Yellow Bay, Blue Bay, and Skidoo Bay.

Out in the water, several distinct landforms emerge, most notably Bull Island, Little Bull Island, and the smaller Bird Island to the north. The area south of Finley Point is marked by The Narrows, a constricted passage between the peninsula and the southern lake regions. Numerous small drainages, including Blue Bay Cr, Teepee Cr, and Talking Water Cr, flow from the high terrain of the Mission Mountains into the lake, showing the hydrological patterns that have shaped the local topography over time.
