About this map

Olney sits as a central settlement along Highway 93 N in this portion of the Flathead National Forest, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of meadows and glacial water features. The Stillwater River drainage connects Upper Stillwater Lake and Lower Stillwater Lake, creating a riparian corridor flanked by numerous named clearings such as Long Meadow, Round Meadow, and Purple Meadow.

Historically significant routes like the Old Fort Steele Trl and Ritsenburg Meadow Rd trace the path of early forest access and resource management. The terrain rises to landmarks like Dog Mtn and the height of land near the Swift Cr headwaters. Local family names or pioneer identifiers are preserved in features like McCabe Meadow, Ritsenburg Meadow, and Lewis Meadow, suggesting the long-standing use of these forest openings for grazing or homesteading activities within the mountainous terrain.
