About this map

The western shore of Flathead Lake is defined by a series of prominent points and sheltered bays in this mid-1960s survey. The settlement of Rollins serves as the primary hub, situated near the mouth of Canal Bay and Crescent Bay. To the south, the Flathead Indian Reservation Boundary marks a significant administrative line, while the northern reaches include the established Flathead National Forest and West Shore State Park.

Topographical detail highlights several family-named and geographical landmarks including Mount Johns, Angel Point, and Miller Point. The shoreline is dotted with small offshore features like Shelter Island and the Douglas Islands, illustrating the complex coastal geography of the lake before modern development intensified. Local drainage patterns are shown through Forrey Creek, Big Lodge Creek, and Birch Creek, which descend from the higher elevations of the forest toward the water's edge.
