About this map

The Stillwater River and Whitefish River converge just east of Kalispell in this detailed survey of Flathead County. The map documents a significant era of institutional growth, shown through the concentration of facilities like the Flathead Co High Sch, Central Jr High Sch, and General Hospital. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by several Gravel Pit operations and the Burlington Northern railroad lines that serve the city's eastern edge.

Beyond the urban center, the landscape transitions into managed lands and early suburban developments. To the west, Lone Pine rises above Foy Lake, protected within Lone Pine State Park. Residential expansion is visible at Northridge Heights, while the historic site of Demersville and its associated Demersville Cem reflect the area's older settlement patterns. Agricultural and ranching interests appear at the Meadow Lane Ranch and Shelter Valley Ranch along the southern reaches of Ashley Creek.
