About this map

Olney sits at a narrow point in the valley floor where the Stillwater River connects the northern wetlands to Lower Stillwater Lake. This 2020 landscape in Flathead National Forest is defined by a dense network of forest roads and namesake clearings within the Whitefish Range. The geography is characterized by numerous named meadows, including Purple Meadow, Ruppel Meadow, and Long Meadow, which suggest the historic importance of these open grazing or logging spaces within the heavy timber.

Modern infrastructure follows the contours of the land, with the Olney Loop Rd and Lupper Rd providing access to the river corridor. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Dog Mtn, while the Old Fort Steele Trl traces a path through the valley, nodding to the region's deeper transit history. High-elevation features like Bear Paw Meadow and Antice Cr mark the drainage patterns that feed into the Stillwater system.
