About this map

Olney serves as the central hub of activity in this northern Montana landscape, situated where the Burlington Northern railroad and the Stillwater River corridor converge. This 1990s revision reveals a region deeply tied to timber and resource management, evidenced by the Wood Products facility and a Sawmill located along the river valley. The map documents the extensive state and federal land management boundaries of the Flathead National Forest and the neighboring State Forest, which define the region's character.

The topography is marked by a series of distinct named clearings and mountain features, including Dog Mtn and a sequence of high-elevation meadows like Ruple Meadow, McCabe Meadow, and Bootjack Meadow. Hydrological patterns are defined by the Lower Stillwater Lake and Upper Stillwater Lake, which are linked by the river as it winds through the valley floor alongside the Eighth Standard Parallel North.
