2024 Map of Olney

About this map

The settlement of Olney occupies a central position along the Stillwater River valley, situated between the southern slopes of the Whitefish Range and the dense timberlands of the Flathead National Forest. This modern survey highlights a landscape defined by its hydrography and alpine meadows, where the river feeds into Lower Stillwater Lake to the south. The terrain is notably etched with family-named clearings and wetlands such as Ritsenburg Meadow, McGabe Meadow, and Bootjack Meadow, suggesting a history of high-country grazing and early homesteading within the drainage of Lazy Creek and Swift Creek.
