About this map

Flathead Lake dominates the northern landscape of this region, with the prominent peninsula of Finley Point extending into its waters to separate Skidoo Bay from the larger East Bay. The city of Polson occupies the western edge of the map, serving as a gateway to the Mission Valley. The area's complex water management system is clearly visible, featuring the Polson D Canal, Bousquet Ditch, and the elevated Hellroaring Reservoir tucked into the eastern highlands.

South of the shoreline, the community of Turtle Lake sits near its namesake water body, surrounded by a network of local roads such as Tundra Swan Way and Pheasant Ridge Ln. The eastern portion of the map rises sharply toward Minesinger Ridge, where several drainages like Centipede Cr and Bisson Cr flow toward the valley floor. This survey documents the intersection of recreational lakeside living and the agricultural infrastructure essential to this part of Lake County.
