About this map

Proctor sits at the southern edge of this West Kootenay landscape, positioned where Dayton Cr flows toward the larger valley floor. To the northwest, the terrain rises into the timbered slopes of the Flathead National Forest, defined by high peaks like Blacktail Mtn and Kerr Mtn. This area is characterized by its complex hydrology, where numerous smaller water bodies and meadows are tucked into the high country, including Basin Meadows, Grants Meadow, and Skags Lake.

The road network, including the Lake Mary Ronan Hwy and Proctor School Rd, links the lower settlements to the higher elevations and recreational areas like Lake Mary Ronan. The presence of several distinct springs, such as Indian Spring, Foss Spring, and Bickford Spring, indicates the importance of local water sources for the ranches and homesteads that have historically dotted these foothills between the mountains and the Flathead Lake basin.
