2011 Map of Olney

About this map

Olney serves as the central hub of this Flathead County landscape, where the Olney Post Office and Olney Rural Fire Dist anchor a small community within a wider network of timberlands and meadows. The geography is defined by the Stillwater River drainage, connecting the distinctive Upper Stillwater Lake and Lower Stillwater Lake. This region is characterized by its numerous named open spaces, including Purple Meadow, Ritsenburg Meadow, and Lake House Meadow, which suggest a history of seasonal grazing or logging clearings. The map detail follows the paths of Dog Creek and Martin Creek, illustrating how the Olney Crossover Rd and Martin Camp Rd provide access to the surrounding peaks, such as Dog Mountain. Recreational footprints are evident at the Dog Creek Campground, highlighting the area's transition into a destination for outdoorsmen and conservation.
