About this map

Rhodes and the surrounding Flathead Valley landscape are documented here in the mid-1990s, revealing a mix of agricultural settlement and managed wilderness. The Stillwater River meanders through the eastern portion of the sheet, adjacent to the Ray Kuhns Wildlife Management Area, while the western terrain rises sharply toward Pete Ridge and the Flathead National Forest. This geography created a distinct boundary between the valley floor's social centers and the high timberline.

Local life is anchored by community landmarks such as the Bissell Grange Hall, Stillwater Ch, and the Northwest Flathead Community Hall. Numerous small water bodies, including Hanson-Doyle Lake and Barney Lake, dot the glacial landscape. The proximity of Bissell Sch to the Tobie Creek drainage illustrates the early 20th-century settlement pattern of placing schools and social halls near the valley's reliable water sources and arable flats.
