2011 Map of Polson

About this map

The south shore of Flathead Lake serves as the focal point for this study of the Polson area, where the Flathead River begins its westward journey. The landscape is defined by the complex water management system of the Mission Valley, featuring the Polson B Canal, Polson C Canal, and the Pablo 31 A 07 Canal feeding into the Pablo Reservoir. Civil engineering marks the terrain at Kerr Dam and the Polson Sewage Lagoon Dam, while the town itself shows a developed grid with community landmarks such as Belle-Vue Court and Lakeview Cemetery. To the north, the residential expansion onto Rocky Point contrasts with the higher elevations of Rocky Butte to the south. Local transit and services are anchored by the Polson Airport, Polson Bridge, and the Polson Post Office, reflecting the town's role as a regional hub for commerce and recreation.
