About this map

The shoreline of Flathead Lake defines the western edge of this 1964 Montana landscape, centered on the Big Arm and the nearby settlements of Elmo and Dayton. The topography is dominated by the Hog Heaven Range to the northwest, where Chief Cliff overlooks the water. Along the northern coast, Spring Creek, Dayton Creek, and Kootenai Creek flow into the lake near the Indian Cem.

The map reveals a landscape of transition between the water and the upland interior, featuring Cromwell Island and the protected lands of Flathead Lake State Park. Inland, the terrain is marked by seasonal water bodies like Black Lake and Loon Lake, alongside a network of Jeep Trails and a local Gravel Pit. The mapping documents the region's infrastructure prior to late-century developments, capturing the quiet character of Lake County's lakeside communities.
