About this map

Polson serves as the focal point of this 2017 study, situated at the southern tip of Flathead Lake where the waters narrow into Polson Bay. The map documents a landscape defined by water management and transit, featuring the Polson Bridge and the winding course of the Flathead River. This modern survey details the intricate irrigation network south of the lake, including the Polson B Canal, Polson C Canal, and Pablo 31 A-07 Canal feeding into Pablo Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites within the township, including Hospital Cem, Lakeview Cem, and the Beauvais Decker Catholic Cem. The geography transitions from the residential blocks of the city to the Valley View Hills and more isolated settlements like Jette and Kerr. Notable landmarks such as the Polson Airport and elevated vistas like Vista Point and Kings Point provide clear reference points for understanding the development and layout of Lake County in the early 21st century.
