About this map

Finley Point and the southern shoreline of Flathead Lake define this 2011 survey, showing a landscape shaped by water and agriculture. The southeastern corner of the lake, known as East Bay, is bordered by orchards and residential developments, including the Eagle Nest RV Resort. Moving inland, the map captures a sophisticated irrigation network featuring the Polson Z Canal, Polson D Canal, and the Bousquet Ditch, which support the farms and ranches surrounding Dupuis and Turtle Lake.

Topographically, the area rises toward Minesinger Ridge in the southeast, where numerous drainages like Minesinger Creek and Bisson Creek flow toward the lake. Small-scale water management is evident at Twin Dam and Hellroaring Dam, while landmarks such as the Rocking C Ranch and the Finley Point - Yellow Bay Vol Fire Dept provide clear points of reference for local historians and property researchers.
