Polson sits prominently at the southern end of Flathead Lake on this 2014 survey, where the Flathead River begins its westward journey. The landscape is defined by the managed flow of water, evidenced by the extensive canal system including the Polson-B-Canal and Polson-C-Canal, which support the region's agricultural infrastructure alongside the Pablo 31 A 07 Canal feeding into Pablo Reservoir. This era of mapping reveals a mix of residential expansion in areas like Belle-Vue Court and the small settlement of Jette to the north, contrasted with the natural elevations of Kings Point and Rocky Point. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted, including the Polson Catholic Cem, Lakeview Cem, and Hospital Cem. Landmarks like the Polson Airport and the Kerr area near the river's bend highlight the intersection of transportation and industrial utility in Lake County.
