Flathead Lake dominates this 2011 survey, defining the western shoreline and the communities that depend on its waters. The settlements of Dayton, Elmo, and Big Arm are mapped in detail, each maintaining its own civic identity with dedicated post offices and fire departments like the Chief Cliff Vol Fire Dept. The terrain is marked by the dramatic rise of Chief Cliff to the northwest and the presence of Cromwell Island offshore. Local history is evidenced by the Indian Cemetery located near Dayton Creek, while the road network shows a mix of modern infrastructure and older routes like Stage Coach Rd and Hog Heaven Cattle County Rd. Residential and recreational growth is visible through developments like Snowberg Court and the Big Arm Resort and Marina, alongside smaller interior water bodies including Black Lake and Loon Lake.
