About this map

Kila anchors this 2020 topographic landscape, situated near the marshy expanse of Smith Lake and the Flathead County Waterfowl Production Area. The geography transitions from the valley floor near Ashley Creek into the high elevations of the Flathead National Forest, where a series of prominent peaks such as Eagle Mountain, Wild Bill Mountain, and Blacktail Mountain define the southern terrain. This area is characterized by a dense network of forest roads and recreation paths, including the Foys To Blacktail Trail and the Kila Cliff Trail.

Remote settlements and topographic features like Coon Hollow and Hatch Meadow are scattered among the ridges, while various drainages including Truman Creek and Wild Bill Creek carve through the timbered slopes. The map provides a detailed view of contemporary land management boundaries between federal forest lands and local drainage systems, tracing the complex road networks like Browns Meadow Road that facilitate access into this portion of Flathead County.
