About this map

The northwestern shores of Flathead Lake dominate this landscape, where the communities of Somers and Lakeside are connected by the thoroughfare of Us-93. This 2014 survey reveals a transition from the agricultural expanse of the Flathead Valley to the wooded terrain of the Flathead NF along the lake's edge. The presence of several private airstrips, including Sanders Airport, Flathead Lake Sky Ranch Airport, and Abel Ranch Airport, suggests a specialized transportation network serving local ranches and residents.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks such as Bethel Cem north of the lake and trace the meandering paths of Bierney Cr and Stoner Cr. The shoreline is intricately detailed, marking geographic features like Kalispell Bay, Peaceful Bay, and Conrad Point. Significant hydrological patterns are visible where the Flathead River enters from the northeast, creating complex wetlands such as Wileys Slough and Fennon Slough.
