About this map

Flathead Lake dominates this 2017 survey, defining the geography of the northern shoreline where the Flathead River enters the valley. The map documents the residential and recreational development around Kalispell Bay and Peaceful Bay, with communities like Somers, Lakeside, and Bigfork serving as anchors for the local landscape. The presence of several private airstrips, including Sanders Airport and the Flathead Lake Sky Ranch Airport, speaks to the region's aviation-linked land use and accessibility.

Conservation areas are prominent, with the Flathead County Waterfowl Production Area and portions of the Flathead National Forest preserving significant stretches of the riparian environment. Local history is anchored by sites such as Bethel Cem and the winding course of Stoner Cr and Bierney Cr. The road network, including Old US Hwy 93, illustrates the modern connectivity of these lakeside settlements.
