About this map

Kila and the neighboring settlement of Smith Valley anchor this map of the western Montana landscape. The area is dominated by the Flathead County Waterfowl Production Area, which encompasses the marshy expanse of Smith Lake. To the south and east, the terrain rises into the densely wooded slopes of the Flathead National Forest, featuring prominent peaks such as Wild Bill Mtn and Eagle Mtn.

Transport and recreation routes crisscross the timbered ridges, including the extensive Foys to Blacktail Trail and numerous forest development roads. The drainage pattern is defined by Ashley Cr and Wild Bill Creek, which carve through the foothills. The presence of smaller features like Coon Hollow and Hatch Meadow provides specific location markers for researchers tracing local land use and geographic history in this corner of Flathead County.
